The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics offers the following career-development fellowship opportunities for junior faculty.
K Scholars
The K Scholars program, managed by CTSI’s Clinical and Translational Science Training (CTST) Hub, supports the career development of junior faculty building careers in clinical and translational research. The program provides an academically invigorating and supportive environment encompassing many of the top young faculty at UCSF and affiliated institutions. Participants can expect advice and support from an exceptional group of peers—junior faculty from a range of health-related disciplines—all at a similar stage in developing a path to an independent academic research career. Support also includes mentorship and guidance from outstanding program faculty, all of whom are successful clinical and translational researchers with expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, implementation sciences, scientific writing and career mentoring.
Research in Implementation Science for Equity (RISE)
RISE is an all-expenses-paid training opportunity for junior faculty designed to train competitive scientists and enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce. The program involves a two-week RISE Summer Institute, focused on implementation science and career mentoring, which is hosted by UCSF’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in July in San Francisco.
