Org Synopsis 

We are accepting applications for the 2011 class of State Policy Fellows, an initiative of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (www.cbpp.org), a national policy institute, and the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of influential and independent state policy organizations. The program seeks to increase the diversity of the next generation of leaders who will help shape state policies and fiscal choices that affect disadvantaged families and communities.

Fellows will spend two years as entry-level analysts in a state policy organization in the SFAI network (www.statefiscal.org). Fellows will research and write analyses on current policy issues brief policymakers, journalists, and others on these issues and serve as a resource for advocates and community groups. The program provides ongoing career development and training, including a week-long seminar in Washington, D.C. and national policy conferences sponsored by CBPP. Fellows will also be partnered with mentors who are leaders in their field.

Each fellow will receive an annual salary of $45,000 - $50,000 (regional salary adjustments may be applied to higher-cost locations). In addition, health benefits will be included.

We invite candidates who recently received a graduate degree and who have an interest in state fiscal policy and a commitment to improving opportunities for low- and moderate-income families to apply by the January 14, 2011 deadline. (We encourage early submissions.)

For complete eligibility requirements and to apply, please visit www.cbpp.org/fellowship or visit us on Facebook under www.facebook.com/statepolicyfellowship. Fellowships will begin in the latter part of August 2011.
