There are also a number of unique fellowship opportunities at JPAC available through the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE).

• Anthropologist Fellowship

The majority of anthropologists who have joined the JPAC Central Identification Laboratory team have done so through the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) fellowship program. This program is geared towards anthropologists who have recently completed their PhD and have experience with human osteology and archaeology. Occasionally, anthropologists with only a Master's degree are accepted into the fellowship program. Fellowships are one year, and can be renewed for up to three years. Fellowship participants serve as recovery team leaders in the field, and conduct material evidence and skeletal analyses in the laboratory.

JPAC also offers fellowships for historians through ORISE. The Research Participation Program for the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) provides opportunities to participate in historical research projects. Fellowship positions are available at the post-master's and post-doctoral level to individuals with degrees in history or a related field.
