The Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering two fellowships with application deadline of January 31, 2024. (See separate links below for full information.)

Fellowship 1: Science Research, Policy, and Data in Social and Economic Sciences (SES) and Public Access and Open Science. The Fellow will assist SES division leadership and program officers in analyses, communications, and related matters to assess a variety of outcomes. Activities include examinations of NSF’s merit review process, portfolio and participant balance for diversity, equity, and inclusion and accessibility and other important considerations. In addition, the Fellow will assist division leadership and program officers in a variety of public access and open science (PAOS) efforts, with a primary focus on the implementation of NSF’s 2023 Public Access Plan.

Fellowship 2: Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Innovation Fellow to provide scientific, research, and program management expertise to cross-cutting SBE directorate opportunities, such as the Centers for Research and Innovation in Science, the Environment, and Society (CRISES) program. These emerging opportunities focus on the contributions that an understanding and integrated application of the SBE sciences can make to intractable problems that confront society. The SBE Fellow will have the opportunity to take a collaborative role in the further development of such opportunities and initiatives, as well as engage with programs in the SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities on matters of research program oversight. These programs focus on support for student and early-career scientists, minority- serving institutions, and the study of ethical and responsible research.
