ARE YOU AN INCOMING HMP STUDENT LOOKING FOR RESEARCH AND POLICY ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCE?
The Health Management and Policy Governance Lab at the University of Michigan brings together experts studying the effects of governance and politics on health policy decisionmaking, implementation and outcomes.
Incoming HMP Masters students are invited to apply for two new fellowship positions with the Lab. Each fellowship will last for two years (September 2021 to May 2023), providing paid, part-time research and policy engagement experience. Fellowships are designed to fit around class assignments and the summer internship, with a workload of approximately 10 hours per week during each semester, compensated at $25 per hour.
Our main research project for this period explores the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on international scientific collaboration in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and within the European Union. Fellows will be engaged in all stages of the research including refining the research design, conducting interviews with scientific experts, collecting and analyzing quantitative data and formulating policy briefs and academic publications. Fellows will receive full attribution / author credit for anything they produce.
In addition to the main research project, we strongly encourage fellows to explore topics of interest to them. There are opportunities through the HMP Governance Lab for fellows to write blog posts, contribute to our podcast or get engaged in writing policy briefs and academic papers. We regularly work with US Federal officials, WHO Europe and a range of global policy actors on a range of health policy topics.
HOW TO APPLY:
Interested students should fill in this form before midnight on September 7th, after which time applications will close. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief interview with a member of the mentoring team.
If you have any questions about the fellowship or the application process, please contact Professor Jarman at hjarman@umich.edu.
