  • Through IR/D, you can continue to conduct research and advise students.
  • The position provides great decision-making authority over a $200M+ annual budget.
  • The scientific and administrative staff are a delight to work with.
  • Requirements include broad knowledge of the fields within your division and across CISE; having a vision of the future of our field; and being a good communicator.
  • If your work spans both CCF and IIS topic areas, you are welcome to apply to both job links separately.

Serving a rotation at NSF CISE is an extraordinarily rewarding way to truly change the future of computing!  We at NSF are happy to field your questions on these positions. Please apply! Please also share these announcements broadly within your communities.
