IRiSS Predoctoral Researchers Program @ Stanford University,

The Predoctoral Researchers Program at the Stanford Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRiSS Predoc Program) provides early-career scholars an opportunity to work directly with a faculty mentor to contribute to cutting-edge social science research. During the program year, participants will develop research skills, explore academic research careers, and network with a multidisciplinary community of scholars.

IRiSS Predocs are expected to spend 90% to 95% of their time engaged in research. A small component of their time will be set aside for program orientation, research training, sharing research findings, and professional development.
