One of the available fellowships will be sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the other will be sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).

The term of fellowship appointment will be for two years, contingent on continued funding, and provides health insurance, childcare support and stipends to support living expenses. Stipend will be commensurate with experience, based on levels mandated by NIH. PSC is interested in reviewing applications from a pool of highly talented scientists from diverse backgrounds including applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, persons with a disability, or individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, public health, public policy, or one of the social sciences (e.g., sociology, economics, psychology) by the starting date. Application deadline is December 1, 2023. Fellows are expected to work primarily on-site.
