Congratulations to all three. Michigan, Harvard, and Berkeley are lucky to have them. (And well done, UNC--two of the RWJ fellows have accepted tenure-track job offers at Chapel Hill.)

It's incredibly disappointing that RWJ once again awarded so few of these postdocs to women. The last balanced cohort was 2009-11:
2011-13 Cohort: 7 men, 2 women
2010-12 Cohort: 8 men, 1 woman
2009-11 Cohort: 6 men, 6 women
P.S. I've never applied, so this isn't sour grapes. Just a shocked realization of how gender matters at different points in the academic trajectory (which then affects future prestige, job offers, income, etc.).

I don't think the gender imbalance is an RWJ thing as much as it's a disciplinary thing. The Health Policy program typical selects one sociologist, one political scientist, and one economist per site. Given that the majority of poly sci and econ PhD's go to men, these numbers aren't surprising. I am sure the gender breakdown for the Health and Society program (which draws broadly from the social, behavioral, and physical sciences) is more balanced.

HSS program by year cohort entered (full history):
2011: 7 women, 5 men
2010: 10 women, 9 men
2009: 12 women, 5 men
2008: 14 women, 4 men
2007: 11 women, 7 men
2006: 10 women, 8 men
2005: 16 women, 5 men
2004: 9 women, 7 men
2003: 11 women, 7 men
And, fwiw - in the HPR program, there are three women in this year's cohort (not 2).
