Education
The North Carolina Agromedicine Institute is committed to providing research assistantships for undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students.
These positions enable students to work with leading scientists on projects addressing ecological, epidemiological, and community-based rural health and safety issues through the application of ethical research methods in diverse agricultural environments.
Selection for research assistantships is competitive, and successful candidates will have the opportunity to design, implement, analyze, and report research findings, contributing as valued members of their research teams.
Achievements may include regional, state, or national presentations and co-authorship in published manuscripts.
