University of Wisconsin Accepting Applications for 6 Postdoctoral Researchers for National Poverty Fellows Program!
Posted: 10/16/2022 (Employment)
The National Poverty Fellows Program offers talented postdoctoral researchers an opportunity to participate in a federal government-university partnership. The goal of the program is both to build the capacity of researchers to conduct high-quality policy-relevant research on poverty and inequality in the United States and to contribute to the effective use of research and scientific knowledge in the formation of public policy. The fellowship is open to all postdoctoral scholars who are within six years of their degree. We are now accepting applications (due on November 30, 2022) with positions beginning summer or fall of 2023.
Fellows will be in residence in one of three federal offices within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Currently we expect the following in residence placements:
- Three fellows in the Office of Community Services (OCS)
- Two fellows at the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) – one in the Division of Economic Independence (DEI) and one in the Division of Data and Improvement (DDI)
- One fellow at the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE)
Fellows will receive mentorship from IRP faculty and researchers as well as from an outside policy mentor, conference support, the opportunity to come to IRP in Madison, WI as visiting scholars, and will be allotted time to continue their own research.
Deadline: 11/30/2022
Location: University of Wisconsin-Madison Institute for Research On Poverty
