Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington
The Institute is announcing its Post-Bachelor Fellowship Program (PBF), which aims to attract seniors and recent graduates with a serious interest in global health and strong quantitative skills. The Fellowship does not require any background or experience in global health; in fact, they particularly welcome applications from students in fields such as Physics, Math, Computer Science, Engineering, as well as the Social Sciences, who are interested in applying their skills to the complex challenges in global health metrics.
The PBF program combines advanced on-the-job training and mentoring, and provides the option of pursuing a fully-funded Master of Public Health degree. It involves a minimum of a two-year commitment commencing with training and orientation in early September. For more information about the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, visit http://healthmetricsandevaluation.org. For more information about the PBF program, e-mail pbfs@healthmetricsandevaluation.org. The application deadline is January 31, 2008.
