A research opportunity is available at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development (ORD), Center for Public Health Environmental Assessment (CPHEA), Public Health, and Integrated Toxicology Division (PHITD) located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
The Ward-Caviness lab at the Clinical Research Branch is devoted to an intimate understanding of the link between environmental exposures and disease as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms that may mediate exposure-related effects and/or increase exposure sensitivity.
There is a research training opportunity available in this lab for a motivated postdoc with broad, cross-disciplinary interests. The research participant would primarily be involved with the analysis of electronic medical records extracted from a large electronic health record database. The research participant will have the opportunity to be involved in the analysis of vital data, hospitalizations, and disease development as reflected in the electronic medical record and the linkage of this data to environmental exposures to determine the environmental determinants of health and wellness. This research project also entails understanding various clinical and social factors which may mediate or modify any associations from including medications, the built environment, and social determinants of health.
