Hi everyone, Happy New Year! I hope you all are staying safe (and warm!). As many of you know, GMU is an affiliate of the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS). On January 19th, NISS is hosting a Career Fair Panel with panelists from three major National Labs – Sandia, Los Alamos, and Battelle. The national labs are a very promising career path because they provide a mix of policy-relevant research, individual projects, and a very nice work-life balance. I hope many of you attend this panel. FYI: I will be moderating this session, so please reach out if you have any questions.

What sorts of opportunities exist? If you are interested in the answers to these questions - and more about National Labs - then this webinar is for you! More importantly, how do you prepare yourself for obtaining a position? Once again, NISS will be gathering senior statisticians who bring extensive experience working in these specialized federal laboratories. In addition, these individuals have graciously made it a priority to share their experiences so that others may better understand and be better prepared for working in a national lab. This is not a session to be missed! Each presenter will have 15 minutes to address the following general topics: 1. What are the job opportunities for statisticians/data scientists/analysts in your National Lab? 2. Describe the range of skills statisticians/data scientists/analysts need to succeed in your National Lab? 3. What is the career path for statisticians/data scientists/analysts in your lab? 4. Is your agency currently hiring statisticians/data scientists/analysts? 5. What advice would you give to students based on your experience?
