Postdoctoral Fellowships

We have a long history in nurturing the next generation of population health scientists through our interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowship programs. Since 1990, a new cohort of postdocs has arrived annually to take part in the David E. Bell Fellowship Program. These early-career scientistsā€”coming from fields such as sociology, public policy, medicine, and economicsā€”have studied a broad range of critical issues in the field of population science. The Mortimer Spiegelman Postdoctoral Fellowship in Demographic Studies is named after the actuary, biostatistician, and demographer Mortimer Spiegelman (1901ā€“1969) who made exceptional contributions to public health. Spiegelman Fellows examine a broad range of critical issues in the field of population and development studies from multidisciplinary perspectives. We will not be recruiting for the Spiegelman Fellowship in 2024ā€“2025.

Applications for the 2025ā€“2027 cohort of Harvard Bell Fellows are now being accepted…
