The University of California, Berkeley is now accepting applications for post-doctoral fellows and PhD students interested in studying slum-related health topics/challenges that include issues addressing the social determinants of health equity, such as
- urban planning,
- environmental exposures,
- non-communicable diseases,
- mental health, and others.
The fellowship is part of a new program at Berkeley funded by the NIH/Fogarty International Center, Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars, which will be called the Global Health Equity Scholars (GHES) Fellowship at UC Berkeley.
