Emphasis is on the four areas of faculty expertise and interdisciplinary research of musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, women's health, and long-term care. The fellowship will enable trainees to master a core curriculum in epidemiology and biostatistics and become knowledgeable about the basic biological and psychosocial processes of aging which are fundamental to gerontology. They will also become expert in at least one area used for the prevention of disability and functional decline in the elderly, contribute to a research team under the supervision of mentors, show capacity to conduct independent research, and prepare for a career in which the trainee will make a major contribution to maintaining the health and lifestyle of an aging population. The Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine offers primary medical care postdoctoral research fellowships. There is one immediate opening.
Trainees work with mentors and earn master's degrees.
Study opportunities include maternal and child health, women's health, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal disease, long-term care, and gerontology. The University of Kentucky is accepting applications for the Lyman T. Johnson Postdoctoral Fellowship. The objective of the program is the enhancement of minority contributions to the academy. The program supports postdoctoral fellows in under-represented graduate and professional areas. Fellowships are available for up to two years.
