[Tps] NSF Program Officer Position

[Navdeep Mathur]

*******************************

The National Science Foundation is looking to fill a temporary program
officer position in the Political Science program. The current temporary
program officer, Dr. Phil Paolino, will be returning to the University of
North Texas at the beginning of August 2008.  We are currently looking for
his replacement.  He holds a rotating position, which is a two to three year
temporary position.  Approximately half the program officers at the National
Science Foundation hold such positions.  Traditionally, the Political
Science program has had two program officers, one permanent and one
temporary.  The position entails helping to manage the program.  Activities
include selecting reviewers and panelists, deciding which proposals to
recommend for funding after taking into consideration the recommendations of
reviewers and panelists, answering questions about the proposal process,
doing outreach, and conducting your own research.  Program officers are
allotted ample time to do their own research and are given a travel budget
that can be used to aid in this process.  Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in
Political Science or a related field, have at least six years of post
graduate research experience, and have a solid research record.  There are
no restrictions on the field of study, theoretical approach, or
methodological approach.  Past experience with the National Science
Foundation as a panelist or awardee is helpful but not required.   The

addressed to Brian Humes (bhumes at nsf.gov) or Phil Paolino (Paolino at nsf.gov).
