The Congressional Research Service is in the process of strengthening its section research management structure by elevating these critical leadership positions to permanent line management status. This effort by the Service is in response to the growing complexity of public policy issues facing the Nation and the vital role CRS section research managers play in facilitating multidisciplinary research and analysis needed in serving the public policy analysis needs of our congressional clientele.
We are looking for individuals with the creativity and intellectual capacity to orchestrate research and analysis in a variety of areas; who are comfortable working in and instilling an atmosphere of collaboration and multidisciplinary analysis; and, who want to contribute to a new direction in research management for the lead public policy support agency for the United States Congress.
In supporting congressional public policy analysis and information needs, CRS covers the full spectrum of issues before the U.S. Congress. The section research manager typically will be responsible for leading a group of 10 to 12 policy analysts or attorneys focused on specific issue areas. For more information on the work of CRS and the divisions in which these section research managers will work, please go to www.loc.gov/crsinfo.
We will be hiring a total of 30 section research managers in 5 divisions and bringing them on board in two hiring cycles. We intend to train and acclimate new section leaders in groups in order to instill a sense of collegiality and group identification among this important cadre of first line managers. The following 14 section research managers in four divisions are being filled in this first round:
Domestic Social Policy Resources, Science and Industry
Domestic Security and Immigration Agriculture and Food Supply
Government & Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense & Trade
Government Finance and Taxation Defense Budget, Manpower and Management
The positions are open to those inside the agency as well as outside candidates. They are being offered at the GS-15 level ($110,363-$143,471) with an enhanced performance based award system.
