North Carolina Sea Grant has opened applications for a public health specialist to join its esteemed extension team.  Application details are available online at: jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/187810. The posting may close on or after Aug. 22, 2023.

The one-year position has potential to be continued as funding is available. The role requires a master’s degree in public health, epidemiology, health services management, biostatistics, health education, social science, or related discipline, with a minimum of three years’ experience in education program development, community engagement, and public outreach.

The specialist will be a bridge between coastal communities and the research community, notes Frank López, extension director. “Along with a broad role of developing a public health focus for our team, this specialist will have the specific role of building capacity for health equity in communications during disasters for underserved coastal Latino and Latina communities in North Carolina,” he says.
