About this position
This CDC Division of Diabetes Translation Epidemiology Fellowship offers training in the analysis of large population-based and healthcare datasets within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, Economics and Statistics Branch (SEESB) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.
Working with experienced CDC scientists, the fellow will contribute to epidemiologic and statistical research on diabetes prevalence, incidence, complications, healthcare utilization, trends, and mortality in the United States. The project is centered on understanding the burden of diabetes and generating evidence that can inform public health strategies to improve prevention, treatment, and health outcomes.
The research environment combines national surveillance data with healthcare databases and gives hands-on exposure to:
- Analyses of datasets such as NHANES, NHIS, and BRFSS
- Research using Medicare and Medicaid healthcare databases
- Administrative claims and electronic health data analysis
- Advanced statistical and machine learning methods for phenotyping and predictive modeling
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Scientific writing, abstracts, reports, and presentations for CDC meetings and conferences
The opportunity is embedded in CDC’s broader mission to protect public health and improve health security through science, surveillance, and evidence-based action. The fellowship emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, mentorship, and the development of epidemiologic methods, statistical programming, and scientific communication skills.
