The Center of Excellence in Maternal Child
Health, in the Division of Community Health Sciences at the UC
Berkeley School of Public Health, seeks two new Postdoctoral
Fellows. The MCH Epidemiology Postdoctoral training program
will provide Fellows with a transdisciplinary perspective that
includes advanced training in MCH and Epidemiology, as well as
in skills needed for transitioning to academic faculty and
research leadership positions.
We are currently looking for fellows to work
with the CHAMACOS longitudinal birth cohort study on issues
related to early life adversity, acculturation and immigrant
health, environmental exposures, neurodevelopment and behavior
in childhood and adolescence, childhood obesity and metabolic
syndrome, and related topics. Fellows will have the
opportunity to engage in research activities, acquire grant
preparation skills, publish scholarly articles, advance their
teaching skills, enhance presentation skills, and network in
the broader MCH community. The fellowship supports salary,
health insurance, coursework (if desired), research expenses,
and travel to attend MCH professional meetings. Successful
completion of the fellowship entails meeting learning
objectives set by the fellow and faculty mentor.
Requirements include a doctoral degree in
public health, epidemiology, or equivalent training with
substantive knowledge of the science and programs relating to
maternal, child and adolescent health. Teaching experience
preferred (may be as a teaching assistant). Applicants must
be US Citizens or hold Permanent Residents status. Candidates
must possess strong quantitative skills, English writing and
verbal skills, and an interdisciplinary orientation.
Commitment to MCAH populations in California is preferred.
The next available position is anticipated to
start in Fall 2017. Applicants should send a CV and letter of
research interest to:
mchprogram@berkeley.edu
These are two-year fellowships funded through
the Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health
Education, Science, and Practice; a program of the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau at HRSA. There is specific interest in
recruiting individuals from racially and ethnically diverse
backgrounds in addition to disadvantaged backgrounds.
