If you're interested in #pathogen #genomics, #bioinformatics and molecular #epidemiology, check out the CDC/APHL Bioinformatics and Molecular Epidemiology #fellowship program (www.aphl.org/Career-Pathw...). Applications for both fellows and host labs are both open now for qualified post-MS/postdocs

APHL has a great bioinformatics paid fellowship program. Might be a nice way to gain some real-world bioinformatics experience and maybe a paper or two. www.aphl.org/Career-Pathw...
