The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking highly qualified individuals interested in serving in STEM positions through the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Mobility Program. This agency-wide informal outreach effort aims to identify candidates with strong scientific, technical, leadership, and program management expertise who are interested in contributing to NSF’s mission to promote the progress of science and advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare.

NSF is particularly interested in candidates with demonstrated experience in STEM disciplines, strategic leadership, research administration, innovation, and collaboration across academia, industry, and government.

IPA assignments provide a unique opportunity for eligible individuals from academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and other eligible entities to contribute their expertise while gaining valuable federal experience supporting national science and engineering priorities.

The senior IPA advisor will also support strategic leadership and provide programmatic guidance to the NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (NSF OAC), which supports the exploration, acquisition, development and provision of state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure and artificial intelligence resources, tools, services and workforce development essential to drive innovation and discovery across all fields of science and engineering. NSF OAC’s investments expand access to advanced research capabilities, accelerate scientific discovery and help develop the workforce needed to sustain the nation’s research and innovation enterprise.

These resources, tools and services include large-scale advanced computing, data and AI platforms and services, software frameworks and programming environment tools, data repositories and networks of various reach and scale. In addition, OAC supports the training of researchers and educators to use cyberinfrastructure to further their research and education goals, as well as the professionals who create, deploy and provision these resources, tools

NSF BIO is particularly interested in candidates with demonstrated experience in biological sciences disciplines, strategic leadership, research administration, innovation, and collaboration across academia, industry and government. 

The NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) invests in research that crosses all areas of biology at all scales of biological organization from molecules to cells to organisms to communities to ecosystems, across spatial and temporal dimensions. These areas are encompassed by BIO’s three thematic areas:  Foundations of Life (exploring natural or synthetic molecules, cells and physiology that build living things); Living Systems (understanding how species evolve, interact, and shape Earth’s ecosystems); and Bioinnovation and Infrastructure (investigating the functional genomic complexity of life and developing the tools, data, and technologies to drive biological discovery). BIO enables research in these areas of biology by funding physical and cyberinfrastructure, such as centers, institutes, and multi-user facilities. BIO is also committed
