Georgia Department of Public Health (OA)

This fellowship position is for the Georgia Department of Public Health in Atlanta, Georgia. The fellow selected for this position will be an employee of Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health for the duration of the fellowship but will spend their time working as an early-career epidemiologist at GDPH. The Fellow will be primarily remote with on-site work about 1 day per week.

The Fellow can expect to work on data-focused projects throughout the fellowship that incorporate the concepts of outbreak and surveillance analytics. Examples of projects include:

  • Identify appropriate data sources.
  • Create, collaborate, and describe quality-assured automated data pathways.
  • Collaborate on sustainable data analysis techniques.
  • Review and determine appropriate public health interpretation of data analysis.
  • Produce regular reports for both internal and external partners.
