New Fellowship for U.K. Civil Servants Launched
The Gov.UK website announced that its Open Innovation Team (OIT) is piloting a new fellowship with the ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC), hosted at the University of Essex. The fellowship is aimed at SEO-G6 policy officials and analysts, who will be mentored by experienced academics. It’s a part-time program where officials can access support using quantitative social science data and analysis to answer a specific policy question. Fellows propose a question they would like to research, and they receive guidance and mentorship from world-leading quantitative social scientists.
