The Government Operational Research Service (GORS) are the analytical minds behind many of the Government’s policies. Policies which, when implemented, affect everybody in the UK – including you. By looking closely at complex systems, and developing models that predict the way they behave, our analysts can bring a new perspective to the way problems are tackled.
If you join us, you’ll be part of a select team who can influence the decisions of policy makers at more than 25 government departments and agencies. From immigration to climate change, we look objectively at the complex problems the government faces and apply a range of analytical and modelling techniques to help them find better solutions.
Apply for a GORS placement to gain professional and technical skills whilst working on some of the most interesting and pertinent problems facing the country. We recruit students who are interested in learning modelling, statistical and computing skills and have the drive and personality to work effectively both on their own and in a team.
For hints and tips on how to apply, please see the student section of the GORS website:
Note that once you have submitted your application you cannot amend it. Please do not submit your application until you have answered all the relevant questions. We cannot accept late applications. All applications for these vacancies must be made online. Paper applications will only be considered if you have a disability that will prevent you from applying online. If this is the case, please email gorsjobs.csr@csresourcing.gov.uk.
