Perception, Action, and Cognition

Two positions are available at NSF as Program Director for Perception, Action, and Cognition. One is a rotator position and the other is permanent. The NSF Rotator Program, allows a professor to come to Washington for a year or two and assume the role and responsibilities of a program officer. Program Officers run the review meetings ("Panels" at NSF), are very involved in funding decisions, and can have a permanent effect in shaping the field.

For the rotator position, one does not have to take a sabbatical, as most institutions will allow a leave of absence (the NSF pays your full salary either through your university or as a federal employee). This is valuable experience to learn about how the grants process works, and get to enjoy all that Washington has to offer.
