Faculty Profiles Position Details Title Yerby Fellow School Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Department/Area All Departments Position Description The Harvard Chan School Yerby Fellowship Program draws on the rich research environment and intellectual resources of one of the world’s premier public health training institutions. Named for Dr. Alonzo Smythe Yerby, an African-American pioneer in public health, he
was the first Black department chair at the Harvard School of Public Health in the Department of Health Services Administration (now known as the Department of Health Policy and Management). This program aims to expand opportunities for those entering the academic public health field and carry forward the kind of work he modeled throughout his career—investing in people, creating pathways, building community, and
helping the next generation of public health scholars see themselves moving into academic and leadership roles. The Yerby Fellowship Program creates a bridge between academic training in public health-related fields and entry-level faculty positions at institutions throughout the United States by advancing the intellectual and professional development of each Yerby Fellow as they develop research agendas, receive
grant support, and actively pursue publication in peer-reviewed journals. Fellows work under the guidance of senior Harvard Chan School faculty members with compatible interests and can have opportunities to gain teaching experience and participate in a variety of activities including career and professional development, mentoring, peer support, and connect with other scholars across Harvard University. Fellowship
training is available across the broad range of the School’s activities: laboratory sciences, population sciences, and social and policy sciences. Fellows may be recruited into any of the following ranks, as commensurate with experience: postdoctoral fellow, research associate, or visiting lecturer. Each fellow will be based within one of the School’s nine academic departments: Biostatistics Environmental Health
