The American Statistical Association is the world’s largest community of statisticians, the “Big Tent for Statistics.” It is the second-oldest, continuously operating professional association in the country. Since it was founded in Boston in 1839, the ASA has supported excellence in the development, application, and dissemination of statistical science.
The ASA Science Policy Fellow works in Washington, DC as a member of the ASA science policy staff to elevate the profile of statistics in policymaking and advocating on behalf of the profession. The fellow is a one to two year position based at the ASA headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, but spends the bulk of her/his time in Washington, advocating for statistics and experiencing first-hand how federal science policy is formed.
