*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.

A fellowship opportunity is available in the Plans, Training, Exercise, and Evaluation Branch (PTEE), Division of Emergency Operations within the Center for Preparedness and Response, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Incident Manager Training and Development Program (IMTDP) is an agency-wide program that strengthens the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's response leadership capacity by preparing CDC leaders to lead in a public health emergency. As such, IMTDP trains a cadre of response leaders on an annual basis and will expand its curriculum to other critical response leader roles.

Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will assist with the design, development, vetting, and evaluation of education and learning material for role-specific training. This fellowship will offer the participant the opportunity to learn about and obtain hands-on experience in the following activities:

  • Conduct content research as part of the curriculum development process. Review and analyze relevant data and communicate findings to multiple audiences, including senior leadership.
  • Assist with the design and development of curriculum in collaboration with subject matter experts (SMEs). Develop and tailor existing IMTDP learning products (e.g., case study, presentation slides, applied learning activities, handouts, worksheets).
  • Identify user needs, analyze and logically organize technical information, and transform complex bodies of information into professionally designed, engaging, and effective educational material.
  • Analyze content, job tasks, and learning environments to identify appropriate instructional strategies and define learning objectives.
  • Collaborate with SME’s at a high and strategic level and drive the development of experiential training methods.
  • Guide and evaluate the effectiveness of education and training material. Synthesize large amount of qualitative data to write summary reports with actionable recommendations.
  • Support IMTDP with the development of articles, presentations, and scientific publications.
