Deadline for Applying: January 8, 2018

As the United States moves closer to a full information society, there are enormous career opportunities for those who have the knowledge and skills to design, collect, and analyze large-scale databases. All that the country knows about its population growth and migration, its health, criminal victimization, traffic patterns, educational performance, labor and job markets, prices of daily goods, agricultural production, air and water quality, and income distributions is based on sample surveys and censuses, as well as administrative data systems.

The Junior Fellows Program is a unique internship experience that gives you a paid research assistantship, plus educational benefits that can expand the horizons of what you can do in your career.

Junior fellows will be placed at various statistical and survey organizations in the Washington, DC, area. From the end of May until the beginning of August 2018, junior fellows will be expected to work 40 hours per week on tasks associated with the development, deployment, and analysis of surveys. Each fellowship is unique, and tasks vary significantly, from cognitive interviewing to data cleaning to interviewer training to imputation to data analysis and visualization. To ensure a rewarding experience for all, we attempt to match junior fellows with positions based on interest and experience.

In addition to working, junior fellows will attend weekly seminars covering a variety of aspects of survey methodology and visit other federal statistical agencies and survey organizations to broaden their understanding of and exposure to careers in survey research and official statistics. Finally, junior fellows will meet graduate faculty of the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM) and technical leaders in the industry who will answer questions about advanced education and career paths.

Paid internship ($6,000 salary for 2.5 months). Housing provided at The George Washington University.
