Pre and Post Doctoral Training Program in Health of Older Minorities
The Sealy Center on Aging at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas has openings for both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral positions. These positions are for research focusing on the health of older minorities, with an emphasis on older Hispanics. Trainees collaborate with Center faculty who have over $42 million in research pertaining to minority health and aging in the areas of medical outcomes, health service utilization, social epidemiology, psychosocial stress and health promotion. Aging-related research initiatives at UTMB include a Center for Population Health and Health Disparities, the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center and the Hispanic Established Population for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly. Pre-doctoral fellows earn a Ph.D. degree in sociomedical sciences or clinical sciences (health services research) in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, or other doctoral programs at UTMB.
Exceptional candidates will qualify for an additional $5,000 - $10,000 over the NIH stipend level plus moving expenses. All trainees receive full health care benefits. Additional funds are available to cover tuition and fees for relevant courses and other training related expenses.
