Postdoc at US Census Bureau

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI Postdoctoral Research Program The Census Bureau's mission is to be the preeminent collector and provider of timely, relevant, and quality data about the people and economy of the United States. Over 200 years ago, the United States Constitution laid the foundation for what is today the world's largest and most comprehensive data gathering organization. The Census Bureau was founded in 1902. Today, the Census Bureau is the provider of the Nation's official economic, population, and demographic statistics. Every month, quarter, and year, the Census Bureau plans, implements, and evaluates over 100 sample surveys that update and add to information from the economic and decennial censuses- information that mirrors the concerns of the people. The variety and magnitude of the surveys make the Census Bureau the world's most sought-after source of information about the United States. These sample surveys would be impossible to conduct without continuous research and development. The objectives of the Census Bureau Postdoctoral Research Program are to provide postdoctoral candidates of unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the Census Bureau, and to contribute to the overall efforts of federal statistical agencies. For fullest consideration, submit application by January 31 https://www.census.gov/about/census-careers/opportunities/programs/student/…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.census.gov_about_c…> Postdoctoral Research Program - Census.gov <https://www.census.gov/about/census-careers/opportunities/programs/student/…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.census.gov_about_c…>> www.census.gov<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.census.gov&d=DwMFaQ…> A Postdoctoral Researcher is a resident researcher and a temporary employee of the Census Bureau.

by Ogungbadero, Suzanne

FYI - From: Cara Pearsall [mailto:cpearsall@nonprofitprofessionals.com] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2018 3:39 PM To: Ogungbadero, Suzanne <saw(a)wjh.harvard.edu> Subject: Susan T. Buffett Foundation Search for Senior Research and Evaluation Officer Dear Suzanne, I hope this note finds you well. We're sending this note in follow up to our previous one regarding the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation search for a Senior Research and Evaluation Officer (SREO). The new SREO will join the growing Research & Evaluation Unit whose mission is to drive learning across the Foundation by providing technical support and counsel to the U.S., International, and Scholarship Programs. Ideal candidates for the SREO position will have deep expertise in quantitative and qualitative research and evaluation methodologies, a collaborative and proactive approach to team-based work, and personal commitment to and experience in advancing reproductive rights and supporting women and families, particularly in international settings. We are seeking your confidential counsel in the search and would welcome the chance to connect briefly to discuss the opportunity and hear any ideas or networking suggestions you may have. Do you have a few minutes to speak via phone? For More Information: https://nonprofitprofessionals.com/job/stbf-sreo Warm regards, Cara and Allison Cara Pearsall, Senior Associate Allison Kupfer Poteet, Vice President and Partner Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group LLC cpearsall(a)nonprofitprofessionals.com<mailto:cpearsall@nonprofitprofessionals.com> 678-478-5959 http://www.nonprofitprofessionals.com/ Summary: The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation is a private grant-making foundation based in Omaha, Nebraska.. With assets of approximately $3 billion, it is among the largest foundations in the United States. The Foundation's core mission is to prevent unintended pregnancy and ensure access to safe abortion in the United States and internationally. It is dedicated to improving the lives of women and families by supporting reproductive choice that is dignified, respectful of women's fertility desires, and evidence-based. It is also committed to creating college opportunities for low-income Nebraska high school students. Compared to the size of its grant-making, the Foundation operates with a lean and efficient staff. A hallmark of its culture and approach is to constantly challenge itself and grantees to "think big" but to also question its assumptions, pilot new strategies, learn continuously, and put that learning to effective use. The Foundation has built an environment in which staff are not afraid to change their approaches in light of new information. Investments are viewed as partnerships, approached thoughtfully and with humility. The new Senior Research and Evaluation Officer (SREO) will be a core member of the Research and Evaluation Unit with a primary focus on the International Programs' portfolio. S/he will take responsibility for leading mission-critical planning, research, and evaluation-related activities across the Foundation in collaboration with Foundation colleagues, grantees, and evaluation partners. Working under the Director of Research and Evaluation, the SREO will provide expertise and guidance and set standards for measurement and evaluation activities. S/he will work with external evaluation teams on the design and development of measures, metrics, and data systems, and along with the International Program staff, will facilitate evaluator and partner relationships to ensure rigorous and consistent procedures and practices. S/he will serve as a credible spokesperson for evaluation findings and will contribute to broader conversations about the implications of findings. The ideal candidate will be an innovative and interdisciplinary thinker with significant knowledge and experience related to abortion and contraception in international settings. S/he will have a broad mastery of quantitative and qualitative methods and a demonstrated ability to design and implement new approaches. S/he will be proactive and have excellent interpersonal skills with which to support Foundation colleagues and partners. The SREO will bring a team orientation, an ability to adapt to change, and demonstrated success working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. A terminal degree is strongly preferred and extensive leadership experience in research and evaluation is required.
