PREDOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH INEQUALITIES AT EMORY UNIVERSITY
The Department of Epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, is seeking pre- and postdoctoral fellows for a NHLBI-funded training grant in cardiovascular diseases. The program focuses on broadly defined inequalities in cardiovascular health, including, among others, factors such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender, socioeconomic status, and geographical residence.
Housed in the Department of Epidemiology, the training program is affiliated with several other departments and schools including Public Health, Cardiology, Medicine, Nursing, and the Morehouse School of Medicine. The program combines training in graduate degree programs in the Rollins School of Public Health with multidisciplinary research experiences working with top investigators in cardiovascular sciences from diverse disciplines, from basic sciences to epidemiology, cardiology, genetics, interventions, and health policy. The training follows a mentor-based model with formal didactic work in areas relevant to research in cardiovascular health inequalities (e.g., statistics, epidemiology, social determinants of health, and cardiovascular physiology), and practical training in grantsmanship, research ethics, and career development.
Predoctoral Fellows:
- Will be considered among those accepted in the RSPH’s PhD programs: http://www.sph.emory.edu/academics/doctoral-programs/index.html
- Program covers tuition and stipend while in the fellowship program.
Postdoctoral Fellows:
- MDs from various backgrounds pursuing a research career in cardiovascular disease, or PhD graduates in epidemiology, behavioral sciences, environmental sciences, health policy, or other relevant disciplines.
- Opportunity to obtain a MS in Clinical Research.
- Program covers stipend for up to two years.
- Postdoctoral applicants should include a statement of research interests and proposed goals for the fellowship; curriculum vitae; and three letters of recommendation.
Criteria for appointment to the training program will include academic potential, previous experience, research interest in cardiovascular health inequalities, and compatibility with existing mentors. Only U.S. citizens and permanent U.S. residents are eligible for this program.
