[CogSci] Job Alert!! Rotating program director positions @ NSF Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences

[Fischer-Baum, Simon]

Dear Colleague:

The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences at NSF is looking for Rotating Program Officer/Directors (PO). Rotators typically serve terms of 2-3 years and work alongside permanent POs, doing pretty much everything the permanent POs do. At the moment, we’re looking for POs for two positions:


  1.  Science of Learning and Augmented Intelligence <https://new.nsf.gov/careers/openings/sbe/bcs/bcs-2024-101062?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery>


  1.  Cognitive Science – Artificial Intelligence<https://new.nsf.gov/careers/openings/sbe/bcs/bcs-2024-101061?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery>

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in an appropriate field plus be six or more years post-PhD.
We look for a record of successful research, research administration, and/or managerial experience pertinent to the position.

Is your interest piqued at all?  Even slightly? We’ve attached an FAQ sheet and here is some general information about being a rotator at NSF.<https://new.nsf.gov/careers/rotator-programs>
