Apply for an interdisciplinary occupational health and safety traineeship to enhance your understanding of Work Health and Safety. This new traineeship offers an opportunity for UW graduate students in all disciplines and professions to explore and consider how dimensions and contexts of work influence the health and well-being of populations and can better inform their own disciplinary research or practice. Trainees will be offered knowledge and skills to address adverse employment and working conditions, as well as methods to protect and promote health among workers. Trainees may be eligible to receive one quarter of funding for the quarter they complete their capstone project.
Program requirements
Trainees will complete two three-credit core courses, six credits of electives from a select list, and one three credit capstone project related to work health conditions.
All trainees will be required to attend the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training provided by the Northwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety (NWCOHS), with the exception of if their home degree program provides RCR training.
Trainees will also be encouraged to attend the NWCOHS-sponsored seminars and continuing education (CE) courses.
Applications are due October 15th at 11:59 pm to begin study in winter.
Interested students are strongly encouraged to contact the program director, Jenny Tsai, at jennyt@uw.edu for details prior to completing their application.
