NBER Post-Doctoral Fellowship: Retirement and Disability Research

Deadline: 12/10/2020

NBER’s Fellowship Program in Retirement and Disability Policy, supported by the Social Security Administration and NBER (nber.org), enables outstanding early-career economists to visit NBER’s Cambridge office for a year of intensive research aimed at the health, labor, behavioral, and other economic or policy aspects of retirement and disability.

Duration

1 year.

Funding

$80,000USD

The fellowship offers a 12-month stipend of $80,000 plus reimbursement for health insurance, limited research expenses, and an office at the NBER’s Cambridge headquarters. The fellowship stipend provides federal funding for 100% effort during the year, and fellows are expected to spend the 2021-22 academic year at the NBER.

Eligibility

Applications from researchers just completing their PhDs, and from junior faculty members who may combine this fellowship with an early-career leave, are welcome.

Applicants must have completed their PhD before they begin the program. NBER strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, people with disabilities, and veterans. NBER may be able to sponsor the fellowship recipient for a J-1 visa under its research scholars program.
