ATLANTA - The outgoing director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has accepted an administrative position at Emory University. <br>
<br>
The school said Monday that Doctor Jeffrey Koplan will become vice president for academic health affairs at Emory's Woodruff Health Sciences Center. He will begin April 22. <br>
<br>
The 57-year-old Koplan resigned last month after four years as head of the CDC, the federal agency that was on the front lines of the anthrax-by-mail attacks last fall. Koplan's last day is Sunday, and no replacement has been named. <br>
<br>
At Emory, Koplan will help plan research and academics at the university's medical, nursing and public health schools. He will also work with Emory Healthcare, a network of Atlanta-area clinics and hospitals.
