About this position
This fellowship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention places the participant within the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice at the National Center for Environmental Health in Atlanta. The project sits in the Disaster Epidemiology & Response Unit, part of CDC’s Emerging Environmental Hazards and Health Effects Branch, where the team conducts national toxicosurveillance and disaster epidemiology activities to identify, characterize, and respond to emerging public health threats.
The fellow will work with poison center data from the National Poison Data System and with CDC’s partnership with America’s Poison Centers to help monitor toxic exposures, environmental incidents, and other events of public health significance. The work includes surveillance review, data analysis, identification of unusual exposure patterns or clusters, and support for state notifications and other response activities.
The opportunity also emphasizes collaboration and communication across public health networks. The fellow will contribute to the Poison Center Collaboration and Public Health Community of Practice, engage with webinars and partner communications, and help develop newsletters, announcements, and other community-facing materials. The role offers exposure to collaboration platforms used for information sharing among poison centers and public health partners.
In addition to surveillance work, the fellowship includes applied research and scientific communication. The participant may support literature reviews, situation reports, scientific products, and manuscript development, while building experience in scientific writing, data interpretation, and oral presentation through meetings and internal presentations. The work is guided by a mentor and a collaborative team of epidemiologists and medical toxicologists.
