CPSC Job Opportunity

The Consumer Product Safety Commission in Bethesda is the independent federal agency that is tasked with evaluating the safety of consumer products and issuing recalls when necessary. The data side, where I work and where this position is located, processes all kinds of information related to consumer injury reports. We are casting a wide net, taking students with any of the following areas of study. Undergraduate or graduate degree in Communications, Biology, English, Bio-Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Statistics or Economics.

Statistical software knowledge is a plus, but the incoming individual would receive on-the-job training in data mining, modeling, and statistical programming (in SAS, R, and Python) from yours truly. We are working with natural language processing so English degrees are valuable when combined with a data science background. There may be external communications with media or other consumers, so somebody with a communications background would also fit. The biology angle is related to the fact that many of these data come from medical examiner reports and use all kinds of anatomical jargon that need to be processed through the models. The mathematics, statistics, and data science sides are obvious.

You are eligible to apply if you are graduating within 90 days (December early graduates welcome!) or have graduated at most two years ago. The position starts at a GS-07 and has guaranteed promotion potential to a GS-12. Here is the GS table with locality pay.

Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship 

Nuclear security is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. The spread of nuclear weapons to unstable and hostile states, the risk of conflict between nuclear-armed nations, and the potential for terrorist groups to acquire nuclear arms all demand new thinking and creative policy solutions. The Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship offers younger scholars studying nuclear security issues the opportunity to spend a period of twelve months at CFR’s offices in New York or Washington, DC, conducting policy-relevant research. While in residence full time at CFR, selected fellows will lead a project of their own design, conduct original research, and write at least one policy-relevant document. 

The fellowship is only open to postdoctoral fellows or junior faculty in a tenure-track position at a recognized university. Junior faculty at law schools or with a law degree as their terminal degree are also eligible. Qualified applicants must be U.S. citizens and possess a strong record of professional achievement. The program awards a stipend of $110,000 for junior faculty and $80,000 for postdoctoral fellows.
