University of California, Berkeley: Robert Wood Johnson Foundations Postdoctoral Scholars in Health Policy Research Program
University: University of California, Berkeley and University of California, San Francisco
Program: Robert Wood Johnson Foundations Postdoctoral Scholars in Health Policy Research Program
Location: Berkeley, CA, USA
Established in 1992 to foster the development of creative thinkers in health policy research as a collaborative effort involving faculty and resources of two University of California campuses, Berkeley (UCB) and San Francisco (UCSF); the program offers scholars a unique opportunity for advanced study and research on significant health policy issues. Each year, the program enables up to four highly qualified individuals to undertake two-year fellowships. Program offerings are designed to accomplish three objectives:
- Educate scholars about health, the structure and function of the health care system, and the health policymaking process.
- Expose scholars to a learning environment in which each comes to appreciate the perspectives and methods of other social science disciplines, in addition to medicine and public health.
- Offer scholars the opportunity to develop a health policy research agenda and to conduct relevant research and analysis under the guidance of and in collaboration with distinguished faculty mentors. Specific activities vary by institution, but generally include seminars, workshops, tutorials and independent research projects.
Applicant Eligibility Requirements:
Must have a doctoral degree in economics, political science, or sociology. Applicants must have received a doctoral degree after January 2000 but no later than July 15, 2005. For those expecting to receive degrees in 2005, all degree requirements must be completed by July 15, 2005. Applicants must be US citizens or have permanent residence status. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously worked in the areas of health or health policy research.
