IBS includes a vibrant community of graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are learning how to conduct cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in the social and behavioral sciences. Combining training in their home discipline with collaborative research in the Institute, students and postdocs train in one or more of our program areas: Population, Health and Society, Prevention Science, Environment and Society, and International Development.

Please contact Dr. Sarah Wilson Sokhey, the IBS Training Director, with questions about the training program or to be added to the IBS email list for graduate students and postdocs.
