The Potomac Institute offers mind-expanding ideas and the ability to have real impact on policy issues. We practice policy with a world-class team of science and technology experts across a wide range of subject areas. We work with scientists, engineers, astronauts, the military, program managers, agency directors, Cabinet officials, Congress, the White House, science fiction writers, and more. Our core philosophy is that science and evidence should drive policy decision making, and that government has a fundamental role to play in investing in S&T. And we work directly with policymakers to implement this philosophy in the real world.

The Institute fosters a hard-working, intellectually curious, and collaborative environment. We encourage independence and reward success. We constantly challenge assumptions and question conventional wisdom. We offer a generous benefits package, including fully covered health care, retirement fund matching, and flexible work schedules.
