The Oxford Institute of Population Ageing was founded in 1998 with the financial support of the National Institute on Aging. The institute is wholly dedicated to undertake research into the implications of population change, with main disciplinary focus on demography. The Oxford Institute of Population Ageing is currently inviting applications for The Leslie Kirkley Fellowship and James Martin Fellowship Program 2012. These scholarships are meant to enable scholars from non-OECD countries to spend a term at the University of Oxford, undertaking age-related research.
