Medicine at the University of Bern is one of five medical
faculties in Switzerland. The Institute of Social and
Preventive Medicine (ISPM) is a leading institute in the
faculty, with an outstanding national and international
reputation for excellence in research, methodology and
teaching. ISPM aims to advance and disseminate knowledge to
improve health and the prevention of disease in the population
as well as in specific patient groups. Education, training,
continuing professional development and the training of
specialists in Public Health are integral to the ISPM’s
mission. The research of the ISPM influences health strategy
at cantonal, national and international levels.
The new director will be an innovative, authoritative and
visionary leader in epidemiology and public health. S/he will
have an outstanding, internationally recognized reputation in
research and teaching and a strong record of attracting
competitive research funding from national and international
funders. S/he will have broad methodological expertise as well

of Bern and the University Hospital (Inselspital) through
