Position Description |
The goal of the Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is to increase the diversity of young scholars entering academic public health and to provide critical support in launching their careers as successful faculty members. Under the guidance of a senior HSPH faculty member with compatible interests, fellows develop their research agendas, gain experience in publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals and obtaining grant support, participate in a variety of professional development workshops, and increase their teaching expertise.
Yerby fellows receive a competitive salary with benefits for one year, renewable for a second year. Up to five new fellowships are awarded annually.
Fellowship training is available throughout the broad range of the school’s activities—laboratory sciences, population sciences, and social and policy sciences. Fellows have a home within one of the school’s nine academic departments:
-Biostatistics
-Environmental Health
-Epidemiology
-Genetics and Complex Diseases
-Global Health and Population
-Health Policy and Management
-Immunology and Infectious Diseases
-Nutrition
-Society, Human Development, and Health |
