Interested in a paid fellowship at the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families? Or do you know someone who might be? The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities is offering fellowships to state policy organizations (including the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families) to analyze the impact of state budget and tax policy choices on low-income residents and promote positive reforms.

Starting in August 2012, each State Policy Fellow will spend two years with an influential state policy organization belonging to the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative or with the state fiscal division at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, DC. Fellows 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. Fellows earn a base salary of $45,000 to $50,000 per year (regional salary adjustments will be applied to higher-cost locations). Health benefits are included.

Eligible candidates must have received (by August) a graduate degree in public policy, law or a policy-related field. Preference will be given to applicants who have experience with, or demonstrate a strong interest in, working with diverse communities. Here's more about the fellowship and how to apply. The deadline is next week! Applications must be submitted online by January 13.
