Job Details
Our mission at the Consortium Research Fellows Program (CRFP) is to link graduate students and post-doctoral fellows with experts in military focused applied research. Our fellowships provide a broad continuum of research experiences, from new graduate students working closely with senior mentors who provide guidance and learning opportunities, to self-directed, complex research projects for post-doctoral fellows. The CRFP provides well compensated, long-term research fellowships that allow students and post-doctoral fellows to be immersed in applied research that enhances educational programs and career preparation.
Our current focus is on hiring student fellows in and post-doc graduates of behavioral science programs (e.g., Industrial/Organizational psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, experimental and general psychology, etc.) who can support the military s talent management research. If you are interested in applied research to enhance your education or career, or if you are directing your future career aspirations to full-time applied research positions, then we strongly encourage you to apply.
