Fast track government career opportunties provided through the Civil Service Fast Stream have often been of interest to research students at Edinburgh. This can provide a route into government research, policy or advisory roles.
If you’d like to find out more, you are welcome to book a place on MyCareerHub for the following careers event:
- Insider Insight – Civil Service for STEM students, Thursday 17th March, 1pm – 2pm, Main Lecture Theatre, Swann Building KB
This session will provide an opportunity to hear from Neil Jackson, the Chief Statistician at the Department for International Development who will discuss his career in government. Neil joined as a member of the government economic service, and has since migrated to the government statistical service. He will mainly focus on his current role in the Department for International Development, and his last role working for the newly formed UK Statistics Authority. There will also be short presentations from two current fast streamers.
Applications are currently open for Civil Service Fast Stream – analytical schemes including:
Government Statistical Service
Government Operational Research Service
