Description
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 and recent graduates from behavioral science programs, such as Industrial/Organizational psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, experimental psychology, and other related fields. We are seeking individuals who can provide support for the military's talent management research initiatives. If you are interested in applied research and looking to enhance your education or career, or if you aspire to pursue full-time applied research positions in the future, we strongly encourage you to apply.
Job Requirements:
The current requirements are as follows:
- Candidates MUST BE FULL U.S. CITIZENS. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
- Student candidates must be and must remain enrolled in an accredited degree-granting program for the duration of their fellowship.

- Currently, our research fellows work according to a hybrid schedule that includes performing work in an office location combined with remote work.

Post-doctoral fellows are expected to apply their own expertise in support of talent management research. Research topics are determined by the agency’s needs and the post-doctoral fellow’s expertise.
