The team works closely with agencies across the federal government, thinking creatively about how to translate social and behavioral science insights into concrete interventions that are likely to improve federal outcomes and designing rigorous field trials to test the impact of these recommendations. The SBST is a small, multi-disciplinary group of experts, coordinated by the Office of Science and Technology Policy and organized under the Performance Improvement Council at the General Services Administration (GSA). Collectively, the team has a diverse mixture of scientific expertise from fields such as economics, psychology, and statistics, as well as experience performing rigorous evaluations in complex operational settings. As the SBST works to pursue the agencies' priority goals, policy areas include health, education, tax and finance, housing, environment, criminal justice, and so forth (see <a href="http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#103cc0">http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/</span></a> to learn about federal departments and agencies). Fellows must possess a unique set of technical and professional skills. This includes extensive knowledge of at least one field within the social and behavioral sciences, the ability to creatively apply research knowledge within the federal government setting, the ability to manage the day-to-day operations of a field trial, and exceptional communication and interpersonal skills. (Duties and qualifications are further elaborated below.)</span><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> </span><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1a1a1a">The position lasts for one year beginning in August or September 2014 (precise start date negotiable), with the possibility of renewal.
