The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) invites scholars and academics to apply for its Sabbatical-in-Residence program. Through this program, researchers on sabbatical have the opportunity to work within PD&R to advance current HUD policy and assist the agency in the transfer and use of new technologies and approaches to solving governmental problems.
Assignments will be made under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) mobility program, an effective avenue for involving the academic community in the development and implementation of federal policy and programs. Placement of employees of institutions of higher education and other nonprofits within HUD provides a unique opportunity to partner with the agency in expanding its capacity to fulfill its mission. IPA assignees benefit from program and developmental experience that enhances their regular work.

Applications must be submitted electronically by October 29, 2010.
