CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Postdoctoral Fellowship

EIS officers serve at the forefront of public health, protecting Americans and the global community, while training under the guidance of seasoned mentors. When disease outbreaks or other public health threats emerge, EIS officers investigate, identify the cause, rapidly implement control measures, and collect evidence to recommend preventive actions.

Successful applicants are willing to accept assignments in a wide range of public health topic areas and locations across the U.S. They have a record of high academic achievement, teamwork, innovation, service orientation, and leadership. Successful applicants demonstrate how EIS is a logical step in their career path and in what ways they will benefit from the applied training through service that defines the EIS fellowship. We strongly recommend that applicants learn as much about the fellowship as possible prior to preparing their applications.
