<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">The Congressional Research Service would like to share this career opportunity with you and your network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">I am pleased to announce that The Library of Congress, Congressional Research Service (CRS) recently launched its 2021 Graduate Recruit Program. This 2021 competitive program
offers librarian and research analyst opportunities across a variety of issue areas including public finance, foreign affairs, research librarian, science and technology and legislative information management.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">CRS works exclusively for the United States Congress, providing policy and legal analysis to committees and Members of both the House and Senate, regardless of party affiliation.
As shared staff to congressional committees and Members of Congress CRS experts assist at every stage of the legislative process—from the early considerations that precede bill drafting, through committee hearings and floor debate, to the oversight of enacted
laws and various agency activities. As a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress, CRS has been a valued and respected resource on Capitol Hill for more than a century. Its highest priority is to ensure that Congress has immediate access
to the nation's best thinking on public policy issues of interest to its Members and committees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">The program is open to students currently enrolled in an advanced degree program. Initial appointments of up to 120 days will begin in the summer of 2021. Selectees who
perform successfully may be considered for permanent placement with CRS at the end of the summer or whenever they complete their graduate degree requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">A complete listing of positions, eligibility requirements, announcement closing dates, and salary information is available on the CRS Careers website:
