Government institutions have a unique mission when it comes to the data they collect as well as the importance of the research they engage in - especially when it comes to informing policy issues that surround health issues, disease prevention, and health research.
This event is the fifth in a series of Virtual Career Fairs that NISS is hosting for NISS Affiliates. This session features opportunities for statisticians/data scientists in three government organizations. Senior statisticians from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will provide attendees with an inside look at the research that statisticians in these organizations get involved in and career opportunities for you to consider!
Each presenter will have 15 minutes to address the following general topics:
- What are the job opportunities for statisticians/data scientists/analysts in your organization?
- Describe the range of skills statisticians/data scientists/analysts need to succeed in your organization?
- What is the career path for statisticians/data scientists/analysts in your organization?
- Is your organization currently hiring statisticians/data scientists/analysts?
- What advice would you give to students based on your experience?
Intended Audience
Students/Faculty (at all levels) from NISS Affiliates Institutions who may be interested in career opportunities in government agencies either now or in the future. The career fair may also be of interest to those who are considering a career change to work in the government.
