Subject: Job opportunity -- applied demography
Dear undergraduate/graduate coordinators and advisors:
Please consider sharing the following job announcement with interested students or recent
graduates. This job was recently posted on the ASA Job Bank, but I've also emailed
this announcement directly to a number of departments in order to reach as wide an
audience as possible before the June 12 deadline.
I'm happy to follow up with any questions by personal email or the unit email
(below).
Thanks for the consideration-
Sincerely,
Ethan

We're looking for researchers to join our team of applied demographers with the State
of California Department of Finance.
If you're interested in population growth, poverty, birth trends, aging, crunching
data, and building visualizations to investigate and communicate your insights on these
subjects, then I'd encourage you to consider sending in an application. We're
recruiting from across the spectrum of experience, from newly-minted BA to recent PhD.
More important than your credentials is your drive to produce excellent social science.
Our work frequently branches across agencies to inform budget and policy decisions.
There's a lot of room to be creative here and rewards for taking initiative. We have
great datasets and a lot less red tape than you'd expect. We are eager to bring in
people with new ideas and to rethink the way that we present our results in print, on the
web, and for mobile.
We're an hour from the SF Bay, 90 minutes from wine country, and two hours from the
Sierras. Rents are reasonable in the Sacramento area and there's a lot to do in the
city and environs. This is a full time job with excellent work/life balance: use it as a
springboard while building your skills, or stay and make a career.
Interested? The application is online at
http://www.dof.ca.gov/career_opportunities/current/view.php<https://urld…
("Research Analyst I/II"). Further details about eligibility and the application
process are available there. The recruitment is open until June 12. We're happy to
address any questions about the jobs by email at
ficalpop@dofca.gov<mailto:ficalpop@dofca.gov>.
Sincerely,
Ethan Sharygin
Demographic Research Unit, California Department of Finance
