We invite employers and community partners to connect with our talented public health students and alumni. Utilize the Michigan Public Health Careers portal to find the best candidates for jobs, fellowships, and internships, and to help broaden and build talent pipelines.
School of Public Health Recruiting

Use the gateway to connect with students, alumni, and SPH community members:
- post job, fellowship, and internship opportunities
- request employer engagement events and recruitment visits
- communicate with prospective candidates
- request and review resumes from candidates

Posting Disclaimer
Please note, as always, that posting positions does not imply Careers Office endorsement of the position, opportunity, or employer described. Postings are shared because they may be of interest to the SPH community and should not be taken as indicating an expectation that students pursue internship experiences at any time during the COVID-19 pandemic if doing so would be detrimental to student health or safety. Again as always, it is up to the individual to determine whether completing or hosting an experience is right for them, including – given the COVID-19 pandemic – any applicable travel and safety guidelines, the availability and viability of remote vs. in-person opportunities, and any other risks of participating in a given opportunity at this time.
