Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory Fellowship, Association of Public Health Laboratories and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The Association of Public Health Laboratories and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are offering a fellowship opportunity in Emerging Infectious Diseases.

The Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Laboratory Fellowship Program prepares laboratory scientists for careers in public health. The two-track program (one-year training and two-year research fellowships) trains qualified candidates (bachelor's and master's level) to support public health initiatives, and provides opportunities for doctoral level scientists to conduct high priority infectious disease research in public health laboratories. Ideal candidates will have laboratory experience (including laboratory coursework).

Fellows are placed in local, state, and federal (CDC) public health laboratories. APHL is accepting applications for the 2008 training fellow and research fellow classes. The new class of approximately 35 fellows will begin their assignments in Sept 2008.

Application deadline is February 8, 2008.
