The Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) is seeking dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers from diverse backgrounds to join the CMI Mortality Projections Committee (MPC) from April 2026.

MPC oversees development and production of the CMI Mortality Projections Model, the CMI Mortality Monitor, and other work relating to mortality improvements.

We are looking for volunteers with a high level of interest in mortality research, and a commitment and enthusiasm to continue the long-standing work of the CMI in this field. Whether you have specific technical knowledge or an understanding of how MPC’s work is applied in the market, we encourage you to apply. 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 diverse 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, or reinsurance company, or in academic research.  However, we welcome applications from all sectors and experiences.

What we offer

• Opportunities to contribute to and influence MPC’s work using your expertise. These could include:
• Involvement in developing the committee’s regular outputs – the CMI Mortality Projections Model, Mortality Monitor, annual benchmarking survey, and annual research paper.
• Involvement in ad hoc research relating to mortality projections.
• Support from the CMI Secretariat, which handles day-to-day activities like arranging meetings and conducting analyses
