The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) is a not-for-profit corporation that operates three Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), two serving the Department of Defense and another, the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI), serving the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the White House as well as other federal organizations with science and technology (S&T) responsibilities.  

Chartered by Congress in 1991, STPI provides timely and authoritative analyses of significant national and international science and technology issues to interested federal agencies.  In addition to OSTP, STPI currently supports the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Departments of Commerce and Energy.  STPI researchers:

• examine S&T trends and developments that are relevant to the federal research and development portfolio and related national issues, often working behind the scenes to support policy decisions;
• analyze alternatives for ensuring the long-term strength of the United States in the development and application of S&T, including identifying the appropriate roles for the federal government and other sectors; and
• provide technical support for national level S&T committees and panels, including the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Reporting directly to the President of IDA, the Director leads the STPI in providing high-quality analyses and advice to its sponsors.  Most STPI researchers have graduate degrees in a broad set of disciplines, including life and physical sciences as well as behavioral and social sciences.

The individual we seek must be familiar with the national S&T research community and be able to interact effectively with senior leadership and staff in OSTP and other sponsoring offices.  In addition, he/she must be able to work effectively with executives of leading S&T organizations both within and outside the federal government.  He/she needs a working knowledge of federal decision-making processes related to S&T policies and programs. Experience working on issues with both technology and policy implications is required.

We are looking for someone with initiative and vision to help set directions for future STPI research efforts in support of the federal S&T enterprise.  The successful candidate will hold a graduate degree, preferably a PhD in a scientific or technical discipline.  A national reputation in the field is a plus.  The ideal candidate will have senior management and administrative experience, demonstrated leadership skills, and a proven ability to build and oversee the execution of a program of diverse scientific and technical policy studies. 

IDA offers a competitive salary, an excellent benefits package and a superior professional working environment.  STPI is located in a modern office facility, near the White House in downtown Washington, DC.  To the right individual, IDA offers the opportunity to have a major impact on key national programs while working on fascinating scientific and technical issues.
