Census Bureau Offers Postdoctoral Research Programs

The US Census Bureau offers a postdoctoral research program to provide postdoctoral candidates opportunities for research on subjects compatible with bureau interests.

Postdoctoral research positions are awarded to those who are in the process of receiving a doctoral degree at the time of application or who have held a doctorate for fewer than six years.

Awardees are offered two-year appointments and are temporary bureau employees. The research positions are not intended to be or compete with permanent professional positions, and an evaluation is conducted after one year to ensure postdoctoral researchers are making suitable progress.

Submit your application to the US Census Bureau by January 31, 2024.
