Active researchers contributing to Institute publications.
Research Fellows contribute to Institute research projects under the direction of Senior Fellows — conducting primary research, participating in peer review, and contributing to the Institute's publication program within their domains.
Research Fellow appointments are made for practitioners and researchers who have specific domain knowledge relevant to the Institute's active research agenda and who are prepared to contribute actively to ongoing research projects. Research Fellows work within the structured research environment of the Institute's Research Centers, contributing to publications they are credited on but not leading independently.
Fellowship appointments are made by invitation. To inquire about this appointment category, contact the Institute directly with a brief statement of your domain expertise and research or practitioner background.
