Urban Institute Offers Opportunities for Visiting Fellows

The Urban Institute invites distinguished scholars, journalists, and senior policy practitioners to join the institute as a Visiting Fellow for a semester or more. The institute conducts research and analysis to improve social, civic, and economic well-being.

Visiting Fellows may participate in ongoing research projects, collaborate in the development of new research, learn from and advise on Urban Institute work while pursuing independent projects, or play other roles of mutual interest.

Visiting Fellows are expected to spend at least half their time on-site at the Urban Institute for at least one semester. Fellows interact regularly with staff in their host policy centers, give at least one seminar or lecture per semester that is open to all Urban Institute staff, and participate in other UI panels and roundtables.

The Urban Institute provides each Visiting Fellow with an office, computer with Internet access and an email account, and telephone. Those who work on funded research projects or formal proposals may be paid as consultants at an agreed upon hourly rate. A very limited number of stipends will be awarded competitively based on a Visiting Fellow's qualifications and expected contributions to center and institute-wide activities.

The Urban Institute embraces diversity in its work and workplace and encourages minorities and women to apply.
