The agency has positions available for visiting scholars serving 4- to 12-month terms during the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The opportunity is expected to be of particular interest to people on paid sabbatical from other institutions.

Visiting scholars must have advanced degrees in their field of research, a record of published research, and a commitment to working collaboratively on policy-relevant research. CBO will provide office space and computing support but will not provide a salary. Scholars can work full- or part-time hybrid work schedules that combine in-office work at CBO’s offices near Capitol Hill with remote work. Scholars will be subject to the agency’s ethics and security requirements for the duration of their appointments.
