What will I be doing?
As a fellow in the NCSES Research Ambassadors Program-Environmental Statistics Innovation, you will have the opportunity to explore a federal career and gain a competitive edge as you apply your education, talent, and skills in a variety of settings. Fellowships are based on assigned research or technical projects.
The goal of this program is to engage in the development of evidence-based policies directed at environmental innovation, sustainability, and climate change by exploiting the wealth of text-based information on environmental and climate research and development (R&D) and innovation. The set of analysis tools, suitable for addressing the priority policy questions, will draw on advanced modelling to exploit the wealth of information within the data. The series of analytical outputs will fulfill the stated priorities and help inform future efforts within the project as well as contribute to the development of evidence-based policy. Activities may include, but are not limited to:
You may also have the opportunity to make use of, engage, and improve key NCSES and National Science Board products such as Science and Engineering Indicators, the National Patterns of R&D Resources, the Diversity in STEM Report, and the Annual Business Survey.
Your project will be assigned based on funding availability and mentor selection. You will learn more about project opportunities during the application process. ORISE will share your assigned project with you before you accept an appointment offer.
