The Center of Excellence in Maternal Child Health (MCH), in the Division of
Community Health Sciences at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, seeks
a new Postdoctoral Fellow. The MCH Epidemiology Postdoctoral training

includes advanced training in MCH and Environmental Epidemiology, as well
as in skills needed for transitioning to academic faculty and research
leadership positions. We are currently looking for a fellow to work with
the CHAMACOS longitudinal birth cohort study on issues related to early
life adversity, acculturation and immigrant health, environmental
exposures, neurodevelopment and behavior in childhood and adolescence,
childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome, and related topics. The fellow
will have the opportunity to engage in research activities, acquire grant
preparation skills, publish scholarly articles, advance their teaching
skills, enhance presentation skills, and network in the broader MCH
community. The fellowship supports salary, health insurance, coursework (if
desired), research expenses, and travel to attend MCH professional
meetings. Successful completion of the fellowship entails meeting learning
objectives set by the fellow and faculty mentor. Requirements include a
doctoral degree in public health, epidemiology, or equivalent training with
substantive knowledge of the science and programs relating to maternal,
child and adolescent health. Teaching experience preferred (may be as a
teaching assistant). Candidates must possess strong quantitative skills,
English writing and verbal skills, and an interdisciplinary orientation.
Commitment to MCH populations in California is preferred. Applicants must
be US Citizens or hold Permanent Residents status. The next available
position is anticipated to start in Fall 2017. How to Apply: Applicants
