Application closing date: 30 January 2026

The Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) is seeking dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers from diverse backgrounds to join the CMI Self-Administered Pension Schemes (SAPS) Committee. This Committee oversees the analysis of mortality experience within self-administered pension schemes.

We are looking for two volunteers with a high level of interest in mortality and morbidity research, and a commitment and enthusiasm to continue the long-standing work of the CMI in this field.

We aim to maintain a balanced Committee that integrates both market insights and technical expertise.  

We are committed to promoting diversity, equality of opportunity and inclusion, and we actively encourage applications from a wide range of potential candidates. Recognising and embracing the unique and diverse talents of our volunteers is fundamental to the success of the CMI.

This opportunity is ideal for professionals working for a pension consultancy, life insurance company, reinsurance company, or in academic research.  However, we welcome applications from all sectors and experiences.

  • Opportunities to contribute to and influence the work of the Committee using your expertise.
  • Chances to get involved in projects such as graduating new tables.
  • Support from the CMI Secretariat, which handles day-to-day activities like arranging meetings, processing pension scheme data and conducting analyses.
