About this position
This fellowship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention places a trainee within CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation on the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Initiative in Atlanta, Georgia. The project focuses on understanding the burden of CKD and kidney failure/end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the United States through analysis of large population-based and healthcare datasets.
Working with experienced CDC scientists, the fellow will contribute to epidemiologic and statistical research on trends in CKD, associated comorbidities, survival, and causes of death among people with CKD and ESKD. The research environment combines public health surveillance, quantitative analysis, and applied health research, with opportunities to work across national datasets and healthcare data sources.
The role includes analysis of surveillance and claims-type resources such as NHANES, NHIS, National Hospitalizations Data, Medicare and Medicaid, and the United States Renal Data System (USRDS). The fellow will also help with systematic reviews and meta-analyses, longitudinal and trend analyses, and the preparation of scientific manuscripts, reports, abstracts, and presentations.
Under mentorship from Stephen Onufrak, the fellow will build skills in scientific communication, epidemiologic methods, statistical programming, interdisciplinary collaboration, and advanced methods including machine learning and semi-supervised cluster analysis. The project is designed to support CDC efforts to better characterize CKD burden and identify opportunities to improve outcomes.
