How to prepare for joining a One Health research team?
As you might guess from the breadth of research described on our site, we need the talents of people from a variety of fields and backgrounds to tackle complex One Health issues, particularly those involving disease emergence and pandemic preparedness. Students and early career professionals often have backgrounds in one health, veterinary science, public health, global disease biology, epidemiology, ecology, medical science, infectious disease biology, microbiology, immunology, virology, entomology, social and behavioral science, bioinformatics, or data science, but so many other fields also provide a solid foundation for the type of work that we do. As transdisciplinary collaborations often provide the most robust approach, we increasingly are engaging engineers, computer scientists, anthropologists, experts in education theory, conservationists, natural resource managers, policy experts, and a wealth of other fields where individuals are seeking to apply their talents to improving and protecting the health of humans, animals, and the planet.
