Master’s Opportunities in Public Health in United States

This research opportunity is based in the Office of Immunology and Inflammation , Office of New Drugs , Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project focuses on the statistical evaluation of TD50 and benchmark dose approaches for deriving acceptable intakes of carcinogenic impurities. The appointed participant will use simulation studies to examine how these approaches perform and to help build a stronger statistical basi...

This EPA fellowship is based at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The project is centered on improving how toxicity of environmental contaminants is assessed for aquatic organisms using alternative testing approaches and high-throughput methods. The research focuses on generating and interpreting toxicity information for small aquatic organisms such as embry...

This research fellowship at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration , Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), is based in Silver Spring, Maryland and focuses on statistical methods for New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) . The project sits at the intersection of statistical science, in vitro pharmacology, and regulatory decision-making, with direct relevance to FDA’s work on drug safety and evaluation. The fellow will contribute to interrelated research projects developing and assessing stat...

This fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Commissioner, Public Health Strategy and Analysis Staff in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project is embedded in FDA’s regulatory science mission and focuses on applied data science and AI in a policy and operational environment. The fellowship is organized around four linked project areas. In research and data analysis, the participant will investigate topics such as drug competition, FDA regulatory pathways, and globa...

This fellowship is centered on respiratory virus surveillance and public health data science within the Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division (CORVD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. The project focuses on the Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) , a multisite, population-based surveillance platform that tracks laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations linked to influenza, COVID-19, and RSV among children and adults in the ...

This research opportunity at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota focuses on the aquatic toxicity, uptake, and partitioning of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The project examines how broad classes of PFAS behave in aquatic systems, how they accumulate in biota, and how they partition in biphasic systems such as octanol/water. Working with EPA scientists and co-mentors Will Backe and Ian Mundy, the participant will contribute to experimental design, sampling ...

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) offers a research opportunity in advanced engineering and physical science applications for coastal environments. CHL brings together a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and support personnel working in internationally known facilities focused on coastal, estuarine, riverine, and watershed systems. The project centers on solving complex water-resource and navigation challenges across hy...

Funded Master's and PhD research opportunity in flood risk and engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The project focuses on compound flooding, including interactions among debris, structures and waves, and the assessment of flood risk. Students will use numerical modelling, machine learning and remote sensing to investigate complex flood hazards and their consequences. The research is based in the COMPOUND Flood Lab within the Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environment...

California State University, San Bernardino is launching a new Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program for Fall 2027. The program is designed to prepare students for leadership and professional careers across public health practice, research, and service. Students may choose between two specialized concentrations. Environmental Health Sciences focuses on investigating environmental health hazards, analyzing health risks, and designing evidence-based interventions. Applied Biostatistics and ...
