DEPARTMENT OF EPIDEMIOLOGY & PUBLIC HEALTH
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AGING TRAINING PROGRAM
PREDOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
Applications are invited for 2011-2012
The aging of the United States population highlights the need for research
on diseases and disabilities that affect older persons. The objective of
this advanced training program (Dr. Jay Magaziner, Program Director) is to
train pre- and postdoctoral fellows to conduct independent and original
research in the epidemiology of aging, with an emphasis on the prevention of
late life disability and functional decline. The program emphasizes four
broad areas where training faculty have extensive gerontologic research
experience and ongoing projects: musculoskeletal epidemiology,
neuroepidemiology, genetic epidemiology, and the epidemiologic study of long
-term care for chronic diseases.
The training program is designed to enable trainees to master a core
curriculum in epidemiology and biostatistics, become knowledgeable about the
basic biological and psychosocial processes of aging which are fundamental
to gerontology, become expert in at least one substantive area relevant to
the prevention of disability and functional decline in the elderly, learn to
contribute to a research team under the supervision of a primary mentor
expert in a substantive area and a secondary mentor expert in epidemiology
and/or biostatistics, and demonstrate the capacity to conduct independent,
original research.
In addition to the many interdepartmental relationships within the School of
Medicine and the University of Maryland Baltimore campus, our location in
the Baltimore-Washington area maximizes opportunities for collaboration with
government agencies, health care institutions and life science industries.
The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health is a national leader in
funded research. For additional information about our multidisciplinary
faculty and research programs, please go to http://medschool.umaryland.edu/epidemiology.
