The types of fellowships will vary according to specific areas of research or training within CDC´s Centers/Institutes/Offices (CIOs).
Fellowships will be based at CDC offices in Atlanta, GA as well as at regional offices with CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The fellowship positions are full-time opportunities for a one-year period beginning in January 2014.
