About this position
This research fellowship is based in the Population Health Surveillance Branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. The project centers on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the nation’s major health-related telephone survey system for state-level data on residents’ health behaviors, chronic conditions, and preventive service use.
As a participant, you will work with CDC scientists and BRFSS partners on the analysis and interpretation of surveillance data to better understand chronic disease burden, health care access and utilization, and health-related patterns and trends at state and national levels. The training is designed to build experience in epidemiologic and statistical research using large public health datasets and complex survey methods.
You will contribute to data cleaning, management, formatting, descriptive analysis, categorical and multivariable analysis, and interpretation of findings across demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic populations. The fellowship also provides opportunities to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and BRFSS coordinators, and to help develop manuscripts, reports, abstracts, presentations, and other scientific dissemination products.
The opportunity is supervised by Machell Town within CDC’s chronic disease and health promotion surveillance environment.
