About the Gerontological Society of America

Societies around the world are experiencing a permanent and transformational shift in the ages of their population. By 2035, adults ages 65 and older will outnumber the population under the age of 18 for the first time in American history. Older Americans — growing in numbers — will be key to the nation’s future economic health, and the public and private sectors must adapt to these demographic realities. The top membership society devoted to research, education, and practice in the field of aging is the Gerontological Society of America. As the world’s largest interdisciplinary organization in aging, our vision of “a society that honors older people” is forward-thinking and is aimed at driving innovative advances in the aging process. GSA has three key areas of focus: (1) to promote the conduct of multi- and interdisciplinary research in aging by expanding the quantity of gerontological research and by increasing its funding resources; (2) to disseminate gerontological research knowledge to researchers, practitioners, and decision and opinion makers; and (3) to promote, support, and advocate for aging education, and education and training in higher education. Based in Washington, DC, GSA has over 6,000 domestic and international members, an employee base of approximately 30+ staff, and a budget of approximately $10M.

At GSA, our fundamental vision is to have “Meaningful Lives As We Age.” GSA’s merit-based hiring practice, which also gives consideration to your employment experience, we embrace your work and related background that has led to unique experiences and perspectives that you will be able to bring to the workplace thereby allowing us to develop innovative solutions.

We will hold fast to our vision: “Meaningful Lives As We Age,” and that all individuals will have the opportunity to live healthy and productive lives and be treated with just, humanity, dignity, and respect.
