Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, Harvard School of Public Health

The Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is geared toward expanding
the
diversity of those entering academic public health. The program creates
a
bridge between academic training in health-related disciplines and
entry-level faculty positions at institutions throughout the United
States. Fellows have a home within one of the school's nine academic
departments:

Biostatistics
Environmental Health
Epidemiology
Genetics and Complex Diseases
Health Policy and Management
Immunology and Infectious Diseases
Nutrition
Population and International Health
Society, Human Development, and Health

Candidates for the Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship Program must have a
doctoral degree. To achieve the goal of increasing the diversity of
academic public health, candidates must also be members of minority
groups underrepresented in public health or first-generation college
graduates.
