News and Opportunities

The CPI Social Mobility Lab is Growing!

Please welcome two new CPI visiting researchers!  Linus Krug, a PhD Candidate at the University of Zurich, is working with a team of CPI researchers to examine social mobility under a multidimensional model that allows for tradeoffs between different types of rewards (e.g., income and occupational amenities).  Davide Bussi, a PhD student at the University of Milano-Bicocca, examines occupational inheritance at a very detailed level (e.g.,"nepo babies").  Welcome Linus and Davide!

Economic Mobility Fellowship

The Economic Mobility Fellowship Program is a federal government-university partnership that seeks to broaden the pipeline of people working on issues of poverty, inequality, and economic mobility in the United States. The Institute for Research on Poverty is calling for applications for a one-year fellowship (with the potential of renewing for a second year) with an anticipated start date in summer 2024. The application deadline is April 3, 2024.

Visiting Scholars Program
The Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison invites U.S.-based scholars from groups underrepresented in academia to apply to the Visiting Scholars Program. The program funds up to four poverty scholars per year to visit the IRP or any one of its Collaborative of Poverty Centers (CPC) partners (including Stanford University!). The application deadline is April 3, 2024. 
Graduate Student Policy Intern

The Financial Justice Project and the Office of Financial Empowerment (within the City and County of San Francisco) are searching for a graduate-level Policy & Research Intern.  The intern will conduct research, analyze legislation, develop media briefings, draft communication materials, and assist in implementation of programs supporting low-income individuals. For more information, email Cecilia Perez (cecilia.perez@sfgov.org).

Professional Development Training
The Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) is calling for applications from continuing PhD and master’s degree students to attend its 2024–2025 Professional Development Training Series on Poverty and Economic Mobility Research. This opportunity is open to students who are either from groups that are underrepresented in academia or are attending non-R1 universities. The application deadline is April 30, 2024.
