Research
Fellows are individuals wishing to collaborate with the Center whose
research involves urban public health and who are:
• tenure-track
or tenured Hunter College faculty who do not wish to be, or for fiscal reasons cannot be, Center Faculty
Fellows; or
• non-tenure-track
Hunter College faculty; or
• Hunter
College staff; or
• staff
or faculty (tenured, tenure- or non-tenure-track) at colleges and
universities outside of Hunter College; or
• researchers
not affiliated with an academic institution.
Research Fellows
conduct some of their research, program development and/or training
under the Center’s aegis, and the Center provides scientific
and administrative support for those projects. Research Fellows may
provide expertise to other aspects of the Center’s mission-driven
work, and may serve as mentors to Center staff, but do so in a less
formal capacity than do Faculty Fellows. Current Research Fellows
are:
