We are excited to announce that the White House Social and Behavioral Sciences Team (SBST) is currently seeking new team members to join us in Washington, D.C., for a 1-year fellowship beginning in October 2016. Since our inception in 2014, we have completed over 15 randomized evaluations with a diverse set of agency collaborators. Learn more about the President's recent Executive Order "Using Behavioral Science Insights to Better Serve the American People," our 2015 Annual Report, our team, and recent activities by visiting our website.
Fellows and associate fellows translate insights from the social and behavioral sciences into concrete recommendations on how to improve federal programs, policies, and operations. We work closely with agency collaborators to identify the opportunities for improvement and to evaluate the relative efficiency and effectiveness of proposed interventions.
To learn more about the responsibilities and qualifications of fellow and associate fellows, and details on how to apply for this unique opportunity, please visit https://sbst.gov/apply. The deadline to submit an application is 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, January 24, 2016.
