New Master's and Doctoral Graduates

We at the Florida Research Institute congratulate you on achieving a graduate degree! It takes hard work, imagination and dedication to earn a Master's or Doctorate, and we share your pride in your accomplishment.
If you do not already have an invitation to join a college or university faculty in a full-time position or if you're unsure about whether or not to pursue an academic career, you may want to consider continuing your research activities as a Fellow of the Florida Research Institute. FRI Fellows comprise a virtual network of research professionals who conduct social and behavioral research in the areas of education, health, environment and the economy. Because Fellows are not employees of FRI, they have much more freedom and flexibility to explore other work arrangements while conducting research at the same time.
How does it work? All we need is a completed application form from you outlining the research experience you gathered while earning your degree and an idea for a research proposal that follows on to your thesis/dissertation research or that explores an interesting side branch. FRI will evaluate your application to see if and how we can help you continue the work. If we believe that you and we will benefit from working together, we will help you to formalize your proposal to a funding agency, provide you with seed funding, if necessary, to help defray costs of proposal development, and provide you with contract management and oversight, funds management, and office space when the grant is awarded.
Please download an application form or contact us today to see if becoming an FRI Fellow is the right choice for you!
