Postdoctoral Fellowship (2008-2010) — RWJ Scholars in Health Policy Research Program--The Scholars in Health Policy Research Program, a national program sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will provide exceptionally talented social scientists with a unique, two-year research and training fellowship in health and health policy research. Up to four scholars will be selected to work with distinguished faculty from the University of California, Berkeley/San Francisco, commencing in August 2008. To be eligible, applicants must have a doctoral degree in economics, political science, or sociology received after January 1, 2003 but not later than July 15, 2008. Applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories or permanent residents at the time of application. Scholars will receive annual stipend support of $83,000 for the first year and $86,000 for the second year, as well as research support. There are no teaching or administrative responsibilities. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously worked extensively in the areas of health or health policy research.
