- $50,000 annual salary
- Research funds
- Departmental mentor(s)
- Office
- Computer
- Health benefits
In addition, meetings and workshops will provide scholars opportunities for networking, social interaction and professional development.
CPPFD at the Global Food Research Program
Applications for study in any discipline are welcome, but attention will be given to applicants whose research goals align with those of the Global Food Research Program (GFRP). This includes interests in any of our focus policy areas, including:
- Federal food assistance programs,
- Food marketing,
- Food labeling,
- School food environments,
- Taxes and fiscal incentives, or
- Other policies to promote healthier, sustainable diets.
At the GFRP, scholars can collaborate with a team of diverse public health professionals and students with expertise in nutrition, health behavior, epidemiology, economics, statistical analysis, and health communications to research the impacts of national and international food and nutrition policies. Our goal in this work is to inform on policies to reduce diet-related disparities in health and prevent and reduce obesity and other diet-related, non-communicable diseases. Appointment with the GFRP will be through our association with UNC-Chapel Hill’s Gillings School of Global Public Health.
To apply
Interested applicants can learn more at the CPPFD website. Directions for the electronic submission are provided at the application site. Questions about our research projects at GFRP may be directed to Shu Wen Ng or Lindsey Smith Taillie, and general questions about the CPPFD program may be directed to program coordinator, Jennifer Pruitt.
Applications are due by 11:59PM EST November 15, 2022.
