The Carolina Program on Health and Aging Research (CPHAR) at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has two openings at the postdoctoral level for postdoctoral fellows, and three openings for predoctoral fellows, to commence this summer. Postdoctoral fellows are recruited nationally, while predoctoral applications are accepted from currently enrolled UNC doctoral students.
Supported by a National Research Service Award from the NIH to the UNC Institute on Aging, the program has 39 faculty mentors from public health, the social sciences, and clinical sciences. CPHAR has a strong commitment to aging research focusing on diversity and minority issues, rural health, health promotion, health services, and aging workforce research. Fellows will have the opportunity to publish from their doctoral work, participate in ongoing research, and develop new projects in a strong, multidisciplinary research environment. UNC's strengths in the clinical, public health and social sciences, as well as its many leading research institutes such as the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science, the Carolina Population Center, the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, and the Institute's own Center for Aging and Diversity (directed by current GSA President, Peggye Dilworth-Anderson) enhance the quality of the program.

The application deadline is March 15, 2010. Contact the Program Director, Victor Marshall (victor_marshall@unc.edu) or the Program Administrator, Cathy Hatley (cathat@schsr.unc.edu).
