Please Note: No New Fellowships Offered in 2010
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – Interdisciplinary Obesity Center (IDOC) is now recruiting applicants for its Interdisciplinary Obesity Training (IDOT) postdoctoral fellowship program for 2009-2011. The application deadline is February 2, 2009. Postdoctoral scholars will receive training in interdisciplinary research in obesity. Applicants will be selected from a wide range of disciplines, but should have interests in the area of obesity as it relates to the biological, genetic, or socioeconomic and behavioral factors linked to obesity or obesity-related dietary or physical activity trends. Research will require postdoctoral fellows to go beyond current disciplines to develop new and innovative research methodologies.
