About The Position

WIL is seeking a Senior Statistician for STEM workforce research to lead survey and statistical work on science, technology, and STEM workforce indicators as principal investigator. This is a contingent proposal opportunity in WIL’s expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. It supports a competitive grant application WIL is preparing; no award has been made, and there is no guaranteed work or funding. If an award proceeds and the staffing model calls for it, WIL may offer a project-based contract or consulting engagement. WIL will ask before naming the candidate or including their resume in any proposal. The role is remote within the US.

• Experience with large federal survey microdata or administrative data.
• Proficiency in R, SAS, Stata, or Python.
• Publications or technical reports demonstrating research leadership.
• Comfortable as a project-based contract collaborator; remote US.

Nice To Haves

• PhD preferred in statistics, survey methodology, economics, or a related field.
• Prior work with or for a federal statistical agency.
• Small-area estimation or disclosure-avoidance experience.

Responsibilities

• Serve as principal investigator or co-PI on statistical research proposals on science and technology indicators.
• Design survey, sampling, estimation, and measurement methods.
• Integrate federal survey microdata and administrative data on R&D, STEM education, and the STEM workforce.
• Lead data quality, documentation, and disclosure-avoidance practices.
• Write methods, analysis, and data-management sections.
• Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to WIL proposals when authorized to be named.
