Consortium Research Fellows Program

Employment

The CRFP is actively recruiting qualified graduate students and postdoctoral fellow candidates.  Graduate students must be pursuing a degree at an accredited institution of higher learning in the United States, must be full U.S. citizens, and must be willing to commit to a research fellowship for a minimum of one year.

Postdoctoral fellows will have completed their PhD program within the past four years at an accredited institution of higher learning. Postdoctoral fellows must be full U.S. citizens and must be willing to commit to a research fellowship for a minimum of one year. However, postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to apply to full-time federal government positions at the agency in which they are placed at any time during the fellowship. 

All qualified candidates are required to complete a security background check, obtain a federal government Common Access Card, and maintain that card during their fellowship. 

All CRFP research fellows are required to perform work at our sponsoring agencies’ office locations. We do not have remote work positions, currently. Work schedules are implemented to allow student fellows sufficient flexibility to attend courses and complete all other academic work towards a degree. 

Open Positions

Qualified candidates may be asked to provide additional documentation (e.g., transcripts, writing samples, letters of recommendation). All candidates will be interviewed by the CRFP’s Director or Deputy Director. The CRFP will arrange subsequent interviews with candidates and government researchers and personnel. Research fellowship assessment and selection results will be given in a timely manner. 

Please submit only one application. If you wish to check on the status of your application or let us know that you are particularly interested in a newly posted opportunity, then please contact us.

The CRFP validates student enrollment, identity ,and employment eligibility to work in the U.S. through E-Verify. 

During my time as a Fellow at ARI, I have been able to conduct a number of applied studies in my areas of interest. My mentors were top-notch senior researchers who not only taught me a great deal about how to conduct research, but also encouraged me to continue on with my Ph.D. work. Without the CRFP, I may have never realized my potential.
