The University of Massachusetts-Amherst, School of Public Health and Health Sciences (www.umass.edu/sphhs/) is seeking applicants for a tenure track position in Epidemiology at the Assistant Professor level. 

Position:   These are fully state-funded (9-month) tenure track positions. The successful candidates will join the faculty in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology. Responsibilities will include research; teaching, at the undergraduate and graduate level; and advising masters and doctoral students enrolled in MS, MPH and PhD programs, departmental, school, and university service.

The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology consists of ten epidemiologists and eleven biostatisticians actively engaged in research and teaching. Department members collaborate extensively with colleagues from other units in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences and the university, and with investigators from the University's Medical School, the Pioneer Valley Life Sciences Institute and the Baystate Medical Center. Present areas of epidemiologic research include cancer, nutrition, diabetes, physical activity, gambling, social epidemiology, and reproductive health. This is a broad faculty search and we encourage applicants in all areas of epidemiology, including applicants whose research focuses on addiction and/or substance abuse, infectious disease focused on women's health issues, or cardiovascular disease/obesity.

Requirements: Candidates for this position must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Ph.D. in Epidemiology or equivalent degree must be completed by time of appointment

  • Evidence of independent and collaborative research potential

  • Demonstrated interest and ability in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level
