Internship Details

The overarching mission of the Research Center for Society and Health is to advance well-being at the individual, social, and institutional levels in a context of global demographic, epidemiological, technological, and environmental change. To pursue this mission, the goals of the center are to conduct world-class interdisciplinary research with real-world implications, train new researchers, and disseminate evidence to broad audiences. Their research strengths are grouped into three clusters: (1) social and life-course determinants of health and aging, (2) social relationships and cohesion, (3) and institutions and regulation from a cross-national and comparative perspective. To study these issues, they use mixed methods and embrace the new opportunities arising with an era of big “cells to society” data. 

This internship is co-sponsored with the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS). The primary affiliation is with DRCLAS, so DRCLAS will be the point of contact during the application and internship onboarding process. The intern selected for this internship will be part of the DRCLAS Student Internship Program and will have the obligations and benefits of an intern in both programs.
