AUCD is Now Recruiting a 4th AUCD-NCBDDD Fellow
AUCD is pleased to announce an exciting AUCD-NCBDDD fellowship opportunity in the "Learn the Signs, Act Early" Campaign through its Cooperative Agreement with the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) at CDC.
AUCD is seeking a faculty, staff, current trainee, or recent graduate (within the last two years) candidate from the UCEDD, LEND, and/or DDRC network who is passionate about addressing the issues and needs of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental disabilities. The Fellow will have an intensive experience conducting outreach efforts to the educational community and service provider systems for the National Center's "Learn the Signs, Act Early" Campaign team. The Fellow will join an interdisciplinary team that is looking at barriers and opportunities for linking different healthcare, child care, early intervention, and public systems through national, regional, and state-based efforts. This is anticipated to be a one-year fellowship. Applicants with strong knowledge and background in disability service systems, public health, and health communication are highly desired. Applicants should have a masters level or higher degree in a health, allied health, or education field; however, other qualified applicants will be considered.
Annual salary is expected to be in the $50,000 - $70,000 range based on education and experience.
Applications can be submitted immediately online! Consideration of candidates will begin in October of 2007, and will continue until the search is successfully completed.
