ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Research Fellow, you will help lead and coordinate our efforts on the Workforce LOR, including shaping priorities, laying out an overall research strategy, overseeing the execution of the research and production of reports, and helping to hire and manage supporting researchers, including (Sr.) Research Analysts and Student Research Assistants. CSET Fellows directly impact national security and tech policy discussions. Policymakers, national agencies, and congressional committees seek their expertise and analyses. Additionally, CSET Fellows frequently interact with international organizations, act as a connector between industry and government, and serve as subject matter experts for the media.
To start, the individual in this position will support the Workforce LOR in accomplishing three major research tasks:
Updating CSET’shttps://cset.georgetown.edu/publication/u-s-ai-workforce/to reflect the most current data Executing an analogous analysis of the U.S. cybersecurity workforce Conducting a K-through-PhD assessment of the U.S. educational pipeline producing AI, cybersecurity, and (more generally) STEM talent to understand where potential talent is being lost throughout that pipeline and what could be done to remedy those losses and increase the production of AI, cybersecurity, and STEM talent at all levels.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Candidates should be comfortable working with empirical and econometric data, qualitative methods like in-depth interviews, and other research approaches to support policy recommendations. CSET Fellows are expected to lead research projects, brief policymakers, participate in public events, and manage and mentor CSET’s Research Analysts and student researchers. They must work collaboratively with other LOR’s with common interests and relevant expertise (e.g., studying the efficacy and impact of high school cyber security competitions with the Cyber AI LOR). They are also expected to work closely with CSET’s data team throughout the entire research process.

In addition, the Workforce Fellow will report to the Workforce Line of Research Lead and be responsible for the following:

• Developing, proposing, and leading research projects related to the Center’s mission and Workforce LOR, both individually and in collaboration with other Research/Senior Fellows, Research Analysts, Data Scientists, and Center leadership.
• Designing research plans for data-focused analytic projects in coordination with members of CSET’s Data Science Team by identifying data needs, data team resourcing, and risk management approaches.
• Producing written publications, both individually and as a co-author.
• Supervising, mentoring, and coaching other researchers, including (Senior) Research Analysts, Data Research Analysts, and Student Research Assistants.
• Editing products that junior researchers within the Workforce LOR write to ensure methodological rigor, tone, and consistency with other existing products.
• Collaborating with CSET data scientists in building out CSET’s data and documentation libraries.
• Developing and delivering presentations and briefs for policy-making audiences on topics related to AI Workforce issues and policy options
• Motivating, coaching, and challenging team members to provide quality projects and advance their professional development.
