ABOUT THE POSITION
Applications are invited for a full-time Assistant Member
(equivalent to Assistant Professor) of Epidemiology position
in the Center for Outcomes Research (COR) at JPS Health
Network. The COR comprises a collaborative group of
epidemiologists and biostatisticians involved in outcomes
research. Topical areas of interest include cancer, HIV,
hepatitis C virus, and maternal and perinatal outcomes,
particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged
