NIA Internships - Summer 2008
The Behavioral and Social Research program at the National Institute on Aging (part of the National Institutes of Health) expects to be able to hire one or more graduate students as interns this summer. The range of fields that we need is quite broad — cognitive science, psychology, economics, demography, sociology, epidemiology, health services, public policy, etc. An interest in aging issues is useful but not absolutely required.
These are paid internships — the Human Resources office will determine the appropriate grade level but the pay and benefits are very competitive.
The work will be varied, including helping the scientific staff prepare materials for annual reports and a special review of the program this year — some of the standard help for a busy office but also more scientifically challenging work than the usual Washington summer job.
The office is located very near the Bethesda Metro station in a walkable neighborhood of restaurants, clubs and shops.
Please watch the USAjobs site for an announcement from the National Institute on Aging about the formal application process. In the meantime, anyone who plans to apply should send an e-mail with a CV, information about academic interests and accomplishments, and contact information to:

July 7-10, 2008: RAND Summer Institute
The RAND Summer
Institute (RSI) consists of two annual conferences that address
critical issues facing our aging population. The MiniMedical
School for Social Scientists will be held on July 7-8, and the Demography,
Economics, and Epidemiology of Aging conference on July 9-10,
2008. Both conferences will convene at the RAND Corporation
headquarters in Santa Monica, California.
Applications are due March 14, 2008. Qualified applicants must hold a Ph.D. or have completed two years of a Ph.D. program and be actively working on a dissertation. Only applicants working in the field of aging — or actively considering this research field — will be considered.
If you are planning on sponsoring any fellows, please send their names to Diana Malouf as soon as possible. They will still need to complete the online application.
