About this position
This fellowship places a student within the Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch (ORPB) Communications in the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases (DFWED) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. The project is centered on public health communications during multistate enteric disease outbreak investigations, with a focus on how CDC and its partners decide when information should be shared and how scientific findings are transformed into clear, actionable messages for different audiences.
The fellow will work on communication products related to outbreak response and will gain experience with the processes used to develop, review, and disseminate urgent public health messages. The opportunity emphasizes how communication strategies are coordinated across internal and external partners, including federal, state, and local public health and regulatory agencies. The experience is designed to build practical skills in written and verbal communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving while connecting communication theory with real-world public health practice.
Research and learning activities may be adapted to align with the fellow’s academic background, interests, and goals, while supporting the branch’s scientific and educational mission. The role sits within CDC’s broader public health and health security environment and is focused on communicating about foodborne, waterborne, and environmental disease outbreaks.
