About this position
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering a fellowship in the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice within the National Center for Environmental Health in Atlanta, Georgia.
This research opportunity is based in the Disaster Epidemiology & Response Unit of CDC’s Emerging Environmental Hazards and Health Effects Branch. The unit conducts national toxicosurveillance and disaster epidemiology to identify, characterize, and respond to emerging public health threats. It also manages CDC’s partnership with America’s Poison Centers and uses National Poison Data System (NPDS) data to detect toxic exposures, emerging hazards, environmental incidents, and other events of public health significance.
The fellowship offers hands-on experience working with a mentor and a collaborative team of epidemiologists and medical toxicologists. The project involves activities such as surveillance of poison center data, reviewing and analyzing exposure patterns and clusters, drafting incident notifications, supporting epidemiologic investigations, and contributing to applied research and scientific communication. The role also includes engagement with the Poison Center Collaboration and Public Health Community of Practice, preparation of newsletters and announcements, and participation in webinars and other collaboration activities.
Fellows will gain exposure to CDC’s broader environmental health and disaster surveillance work, including toxicosurveillance, disaster-related surveillance, rapid needs assessments, situation reports, literature reviews, and integration of multiple data sources into actionable information for public health practitioners and decision-makers. The experience also includes opportunities to develop scientific products, strengthen data interpretation and presentation skills, and contribute to manuscripts and internal presentations.
The mentor for this opportunity is Amy Helene Schnall at CDC.
