The Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Wildlife Health (CYCWH) strives to sustain a healthier world by developing and implementing proactive, science-based solutions to challenges at the interface of wildlife health, domestic animal health, human health and livelihoods, and the environment that supports us all. With an emphasis on the types of interdisciplinary collaboration often required to foster real progress along the science to policy and action continuum, we work with a diverse range of stakeholders including governments, local communities, nongovernmental organizations, and students in the U.S. and around the world to promote environmental stewardship, build capacity for sustainable change through training and education, and undertake collaborative research and discovery that leads to real-world conservation and related health outcomes. Fellows will be selected for their commitment to generating solid science and ‘decision maker-friendly’ policy guidance to catalyze sustainable conservation impact through a health lens, with an emphasis on progress through partnerships. We value diverse approaches to addressing integrated human, animal, and environmental health challenges. Potential topics are not predefined. Example themes could include impacts on wildlife health at a range of scales due to: degradation or loss of terrestrial or marine habitats; degradation or depletion of freshwater resources; pollution; climate or other biophysical change; infectious disease; current food systems and/or other issues at the wildlife/domestic animal interface. We seek postdoctoral fellows interested in engaging at the nexus of rigorous applied research and real impact in the realms of wildlife health and related One Health endeavors. During their fellowship, Fellows will gain experience in generating science-based, action-oriented results to solve real-world problems and will be well-prepared for wildlife conservation, One Health, and Planetary Health leadership roles. The fellowship is for a three-year term and designed as a full-time position based in Ithaca, New York, with fieldwork in most cases, although it may be possible for a fellow to be based elsewhere, depending upon exceptional individual circumstances (see application guidelines).
