Chair (at the Rank of Professor) Department of Epidemiology / College of Global Public Health (CGPH)
New York University
The College of Global Public Health (CGPH) at New York University is seeking applications for the position of Chair, Department of Epidemiology. The CGPH seeks candidates of exceptional leadership, innovation and vision to lead the Department and build its academic and research enterprise here in NYC and throughout New York University’s key Global Network University (GNU) campuses and study away sites (3 portal campuses and 11 global academic centers in Africa, South America, China, Australia, Europe and the Middle East). The Chair will serve as a key member of the management team and is responsible for assuring the quality and growth of programs in her or his academic spheres in collaboration with departmental faculty. The Chair will demonstrate a broad understanding in the key content and methodological areas of the department and will possess exemplary research and academic achievements, strategic leadership ability, strong interpersonal and communication skills, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The Chair will work with faculty and staff to develop department vision; nurture, recruit and develop high-performance faculty; maintain an atmosphere conducive to collaboration and transparency; and work with other leaders of CGPH to realize the mission of the college. The successful candidate will be a well-established scholar, with a strong record of securing external funding, who has a commitment to contributing to the development and application of novel epidemiological methods by working with an interdisciplinary faculty. Finally, and equally as importantly, the individual will possess a demonstrated ability to foster the educational mission of the department. Requirements: (1) doctoral degree or equivalent in one of the following areas: epidemiology, biostatistics, public health, or a related health or social science field; (2) strong and established record of scholarly achievement; and (3) administrative experience in a university or other research setting. CGPH offers academic degrees at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels. The undergraduate program includes 10 joint majors where students study public health with other relevant subjects. The CEPH-accredited Master of Public Health degree allows students to obtain an MPH in one of eight concentrations. There is also a full-time, one-year Cross-Continental MPH program. Finally, students receive doctoral (PhD) level training in one of three concentration areas. In addition to these programs of study, a fully online Advanced Certificate in Public Health and Applied Global Public Health Certificate have also recently been launched. NYU has an extensive global network of teaching and research sites throughout the world, known collectively as the Global Network University (GNU). This unique arrangement allows CGPH faculty to establish training and degree programs as well as research efforts worldwide; offers faculty and students truly unique opportunities to engage in their research and study around the world; and informs public health practice both locally and globally through the exchange of knowledge. Applicants must apply online and submit

Tenure Track Assistant / Associate Professor
The Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) is recruiting to fill a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. We seek an accomplished biostatistician with an outstanding academic record and an innovative research program to become part of an active and growing research group. We seek someone with the ability, desire, and flexibility to develop novel statistical methods spanning a wide range of topics in the ever-changing research landscape. Examples of current projects include a Program Project to develop novel analytical approaches and tools for integrated genomics analysis, and a separate research program investigating environmental influences on child health, including life course trajectories, exposure windows in a multi-pollutant framework, and integrated analysis of “omic” data. The Department also has an active graduate and undergraduate educational mission and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in teaching activities. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a brief summary of research accomplishments and future goals, and contact information for three references to [email protected].
Biostatistician Teaching Faculty
The Department of Preventive Medicine of the Keck School of Medicine of USC is seeking an experienced biostatistician with an interest in a full-time position in education. The position is within the non-tenure track and will be at a rank appropriate for the experience of the faculty member. Areas of focus for teaching include general biostatistical methods, data analysis with focus on both simple and multivariate models, application of biostatistical methods to complex data sets using a variety of software programs (e.g. SAS, Stata, SPSS, R), and probability and statistical theory. Teaching responsibilities would focus on courses in our graduate program in biostatistics (master’s and Ph.D.), but could also include data-analysis courses within our MPH and undergraduate programs. While the emphasis is on education, limited time could be available for collaborative research. Candidates should have a doctoral degree in biostatistics or a related field and teaching experience in one or more academic training programs. Research and consulting experience, particularly involving the application of biostatistical methods to the analysis of data from a health-related field, is desirable.
