Visiting Scholars Program for the Bing Center

Visiting scholars will spend a minimum of 1 and up to 4 weeks in residence at RAND in either Santa Monica or Washington D.C. Visiting scholars may also split their visit between the two offices. During their stay, the scholar will present a seminar on a health economics topic. The Program will cover travel and housing expenses, and will provide an honorarium of $1,000 per week. It will also facilitate interactions between the scholar and economists as well as other researchers throughout the organization. The program is targeted towards economists at the associate and full professor levels but promising junior scholars will also be considered.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and the period of the stay will be decided in collaboration with accepted applicants.

To apply, please submit a CV along with a cover letter that includes (a) a one paragraph description of the work that will be presented and (b) a proposed period of stay. Applications can be e-mailed to Kate Lee at klee@rand.org. For more details on the program, please e-mail Mireille Jacobson at mjacobso@rand.org.
