About this position
This fellowship places a participant within the Enteric Zoonoses Activity (EZA) Team in the Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch (ORPB), Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases (DFWED), at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.
The project offers an advanced experiential learning opportunity in a multidisciplinary public health environment alongside epidemiologists, laboratorians, doctoral-level scientists, and public health advisors. The work is centered on enteric diseases linked to animal contact and on how multistate outbreak investigations are carried out through collaboration among federal, state, and local partners.
The fellow will build practical experience in epidemiology and outbreak response, including approaches to data analysis, use of statistical software, and interpretation of epidemiologic data for public health decision-making. The training also emphasizes scientific communication through written materials and presentations for internal and external audiences, with opportunities to share scientific learning under mentor guidance.
The opportunity is designed to strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication while contributing to learning activities related to zoonotic disease outbreaks and the broader public health mission of protecting people across multiple jurisdictions and sectors.
Mentorship is provided by Kathy Benedict.
