Description:
HEI is excited to launch its Summer Fellowship Program for a second year! The program aims to encourage undergraduate students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the environmental health sciences to explore research opportunities in this area. Environmental health fields are defined broadly and include environmental exposure assessment, epidemiology, public health, and environmental justice among other areas.

The program provides financial support for a 10-week summer fellowship and is run in collaboration with the International Society of Exposure Science and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology. The fellowship is open to mentors and students based in the United States. Our joint HEI/ISEE/ISES committee will select prospective fellows and match them with mentors at academic, nonprofit institutions, and state or local government institutions.

Fellows will spend the summer developing and conducting research alongside a mentor at an academic institution or non-profit organization. Applicants are not required to have a background in life sciences but should be motivated to learn more about environmental health sciences as a potential career path. We have lined up an exciting list of 20 mentors across the United States who are excited to host fellows and share their knowledge and ideas and can give you a flavor of what environmental health research is like.
