The School of Public Health at UIC, through the Health Research and Policy Centers, is currently accepting applications for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships in Gerontological Public Health. This training program is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging and provides funding support for up to 4 years for predocs and 2 to 3 years for postdocs.

This is an integrated multidisciplinary program with academic faculty and researchers in public health, gerontology, geriatrics, epidemiology, biostatistics, psychology, sociology, disability and human development, medicine, and occupational therapy. The goal of the program is to develop highly trained future faculty and researchers in health and aging. This program focuses on developing research skills through mentoring, a comprehensive curriculum, presentations and publications, and internal workshops and seminars. Fellows will be matched with a faculty mentor working in their area of interest for intensive training, collaboration, and scholarship.

Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. For more information, see the Web site at: http://www.ncpad.org/newsletters/december03_link.htm.
