Permanent Positions – U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division

We are looking for well-qualified persons, mostly at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels, especially those with training in population geography, geographic information systems, urban and rural geography, remote sensing, and various specialties in demography and statistics, among others.  Salaries reflect experience and the level of education completed.  All positions require U.S. citizenship.

Openings for permanent positions offer qualified applicants an opportunity to work on a wide range of subject matter areas and projects, including: analyzing geographic distribution of population and its demographic characteristics in the United States and other countries; developing ways of representing the distribution of population and activities using statistical areas and classifications; producing population estimates for other countries at national and sub-national geographic scales; estimating international migration; providing technical assistance to countries around the world; developing methodologies that use remotely sensed imagery for estimating local populations in countries with few statistical data so that better information will be available for responding to humanitarian crises; and playing a central role in the planning, conducting, and reviewing of the 2010 Census. 

This is an exciting time for the U.S. Census Bureau, and specifically the Population Division.  For more specific job descriptions, look under “Jobs at Census” on our website at www.census.gov.  If you or your students have questions about work in Population Division, please contact Jim Fitzsimmons.  For specific questions about available positions and ways of applying for them, please contact Tammany Burden or call 301.763.6261.
