The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College is sponsoring a new summer research program for undergraduate students in a variety of disciplines. The Fellowship program, funded by the U.S. Social Security Administration, combines hands-on research experience with one-on-one mentoring from senior Center researchers.
The program aims to help spark interest in the field of retirement income security and build career pathways for students, including those from historically underrepresented or underserved backgrounds.
The Fellows’ day-to-day activities will involve assisting Center researchers with their ongoing projects through literature reviews, data collection, and data analysis.
Fellows will be assigned a mentor from the Center’s senior research team who best matches their specific interests. The mentors will help develop and hone their skills, introduce them to topical policy issues, and offer guidance on academic and career goals and opportunities.
The Center will provide an orientation session for the Fellows to introduce them to the Center's work, and will sponsor a lunchtime speaker series on retirement security and careers in research and public service.
