Dear Colleagues,
The National Science Foundation (NSF) will be releasing vacancy announcements soon that may be of particular interest to early career scientists and engineers. The agency seeks to recruit early-career scientists and engineers in the roles of Science Assistant and Science/Engineering Analyst. These positions serve a crucial role in carrying out the mission of the agency. Science Assistants and Analysts work with Program Directors to plan and analyze the program portfolios, identify emerging research areas, and manage the merit review of proposals. Both employ data analysis to understand the landscape of the PI community and the impact of current investments. Analysts work internally and externally to engage with the research community through outreach and other community activities. NSF also supports the professional development of Assistants and Analysts through interdisciplinary activities, training, and opportunities to engage in independent research and collaboration.
These career opportunities will be found on the NSF career webpage's listing of current job openings. Applications must be submitted through USAJobs.
The announcements will each be open for a brief period, so early action is encouraged.
Please share this announcement with your colleagues who may find it of interest, including recent graduates and students nearing the completion of their studies.
