Pandemics, health, well-being, equity, emergencies are some examples of topics that fall under the global health umbrella. Yale undergraduates typically apply to the Global Health Studies Program in the fall of their sophomore year (and juniors may be considered under certain circumstances). Admitted students become Global Health Scholars, and pursue a course of study with core and elective courses, funded summer research, program events, and cohort activities.

Post Grad Opportunities
Bilingual Environmental Education Position in Point Reyes, California | Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA) partners with the National Park Service to create opportunities for all people to experience, enhance, and preserve Point Reyes National Seashore for present and future generations.

The Ballen lab at Auburn University seeks a PhD student to develop projects centered around Biology Education Research in Fall of 2025. The position would be partially supported by an NSF-funded study on scientist role models in biology. While students are encouraged to pursue their own specific research interests, current work in the lab can be split into two broad avenues of inquiry: (1) The impacts of promoting counter-stereotypical role models on student outcomes and (2) The impacts of contextualizing societal and ethical considerations into biology curricula. Through large-scale collaboration across many institutions, work in the lab advances understanding of effective and inclusive teaching through integrating research and education in STEM. More on DBS and their graduate program.
Dr. Heather Sander’s lab at the University of Iowa is seeking new PhD students to start in the fall of 2024. Dr. Sander’s lab is in the Department of Geography which will be part of the new School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability at UI starting in the fall of 2025. Information on graduate programs and the application process is available here. The lab conducts research focused on identifying relationships between urban wildlife communities, landscapes, and human well-being and is an active partner in the Urban Wildlife Information Network. Students with research interests in urban wildlife ecology, particularly of mammals, and urban human-nature interaction, including relationships between wildlife and human well-being, are especially sought. Contact Dr. Heather Sander via email (heather-a-sander@uiowa.edu) prior to applying. That email should include a curriculum vitae, unofficial transcript, and a one-page statement describing past experience and research and career interests.
Research opportunity at The Ohio State University’s Aquatic Ecology Laboratory, Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology | Dr. Stuart Ludsin has an opening for a Ph.D. student to begin during the summer or autumn of 2025. This student would work closely with the Ohio Division of Wildlife biologists and managers to help understand the cause(s) of reduced yellow perch recruitment to central Lake Erie’s fisheries.
