The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars in Health Policy Research program is looking for highly qualified individuals for two-year fellowships at one of three nationally prominent universities with the expectation they will make important research contributions to future health policy in the United States. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, Oct. 21.
The RWJF scholars program is designed to help develop a new generation of creative health policy thinkers and researchers.
The program invites recent graduates of doctoral programs in economics, political science and sociology, including junior faculty, to apply. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously worked extensively in health or health policy research.
Applicants must have received a doctoral degree after Jan. 1, 2005, but no later than July 2010. For those expecting to receive degrees in 2010, all degree requirements must be completed by July 15, 2010.
All applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories or have permanent residency status at the time of application. Applications are encouraged from candidates who come from groups that historically have been underrepresented in the three disciplines. Scholars will receive stipends from their university of $89,000 a year.
