Team Science Fellows, Stanford Center for Asian Health Research (CARE) at the Stanford School of Medicine

Category : Student Opportunities

The Team Science Fellowship is a one-year fellowship program designed for doctoral or masters students and post-doctoral researchers to train them to become leaders in team science. Team Science Fellows with backgrounds in biostatistics, computer science, qualitative science, and epidemiology, lead multiple research teams around data science for Asian health precision medicine, mentor Stanford CARE Scholars, interface with multidisciplinary faculty, and learn the “Science” of Team Science. Team Science Fellows support Stanford CARE Scholars teams in all aspects of their research projects and help get their work shared through publication in peer-reviewed journals and high-quality conferences. The Fellowship focuses on essential skills for team science leadership, including the management of multiple projects simultaneously, development of excellent interpersonal and scientific communication skills, and mentorship/teaching of junior researchers.

The Teaching Fellowship is a program designed for doctoral/masters students and post-doctoral researchers to learn how to become exemplary educators and coaches within a Team Science program. Specifically, Teaching Fellows will teach and coach within the Stanford CARE Scholars Program. Teaching Fellows will participate in a CARE Fellows curriculum, network with Stanford faculty, learn core teaching/mentorship skills, teach within the CARE Scholars curriculum, coach CARE Scholars on their research/presentations, and receive feedback on their teaching. This Fellowship prepares participants to become educational & research leaders in their field, in a team science setting.

The program is open to applicants of all backgrounds. Most of the work will be virtual, anchored by a 9 week immersion program over the summer.

Applications are due January 10th, 2025. For more information and application instructions, visit the program webpage.

Research Opportunity, Department of Colorectal Surgery at Emory Johns Creek Hospital

Category : Student Opportunities

Project details:
 
  • Title: Financial costs of cancer survivorship among patients with anal cancer and underlying perianal Crohn’s disease
  • Principal Investigator: Seth A Rosen, MD
  • Department: Department of Colorectal Surgery
  • Database: IBM MarketScan
  • Objectives:
    • Compare the financial costs of anal cancer survivorship in patients with and without a history of perianal Crohn’s disease, including post-operative complications.
    • Identify demographic and clinical factors associated with high financial cost in anal cancer patients with history of perianal Crohn’s disease.

The team is looking for an MPH student interested in assisting with data handling and analysis. While the analysis itself is relatively straightforward, IBM MarketScan is an insurance claims-based data source that involves complex data handling before it can be analyzed. The selected student will receive authorship on any resulting publications.

If interested, students can reach out to Usama Waqar (uwaqar [at] emory [dot] edu).
