Student Fellowship, Emory CIDMATH
Category : Student Opportunities
The Emory Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analytics & Training Hub (CIDMATH) is launching a new student fellowship program designed to provide students with a multi-semester research opportunity culminating in an Infectious Disease Epidemiology thesis project, with the potential to complete an APE.
Applications due January 30th and can be found on 12Twenty. There will also be an information session on January 16th from 12-1pm in CNR 3001.
Students will work with curated datasets (e.g., MarketScan, Advan Research), data collected in collaboration with clinical and public health partners (Kaiser Permanente GA, GA Emerging Infections Program), and CIDMATH-generated data under the mentorship of CIDMATH faculty, postdocs and PhD students, in addition to participating in CIDMATH Journal Club and structured workshops to develop presentation skills. EPI students, regardless of REAL eligibility, are invited to apply.
Special topics include social contact studies, wastewater surveillance and modeling, machine learning, vaccine evaluation, emerging infectious diseases, and more.
The ideal candidate is a first-year MPH/MSPH student in the Epidemiology department who is able to dedicate 10-15 hours a week to the position and is looking for a multi-semester research opportunity through Spring 2027.
