The Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health, which currently includes more than 18 postdoctoral fellows, has both core training programs and infrastructure as well as a T32 training grant in Children’s Environmental Health funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Our Department has a NIEHS P30 core center with a pilot grant program to which fellows are eligible to apply and more than 40 million dollars of active funding from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), including both the Human Health Environmental Assessment Resource (HHEAR) data center that develops new methods to analyze complex mixtures and a HHEAR lab hub that supports targeted and untargeted environmental analyses, and the development of new assays as part of this national network that promotes inter-institutional collaboration. Fellows will be offered subsidized housing in Manhattan and a competitive stipend.
