The University of Chicago's Department of Public Health
Sciences in the Biological Sciences Division is searching for
a tenure-track faculty member. We seek applicants conducting
research in the fields of epidemiology or health services
research, with a primary research focus on racial determinants
of health or health care. Areas of interest include, but are
not limited to, social, reproductive, infectious, or
environmental epidemiology and the effects of health policies
on access to or quality of care. Because the Department of
Public Health Sciences seeks to increase the diversity of its
faculty, we particularly welcome applicants who come from
groups that are historically underrepresented in our
disciplines, such as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino,
American Indian, or Alaskan Native.
The successful candidate will be appointed
as a tenure-track faculty member and as a Provost's
Postdoctoral Fellow at the rank of instructor. The appointee
will become eligible for promotion to assistant professor in
two years. During this time, The Provost's Postdoctoral Fellow
will teach one class per year, receive research support, and
participate in programming designed to help support them in
their progress toward promotion.
At The University of Chicago, we are
committed to academic excellence and diversity within the
faculty, staff, and student body. The University is a vibrant
center of scientific discovery and innovation, and
opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration are
abundant,
both within and outside the Biological
Sciences Division. The Division, other academic units of the
University, and the University of Chicago Medical Center, are
all contained within one compact campus in Chicago's Hyde
Park. Appointees will have access to state of-the-art core
facilities and to outstanding colleagues and graduate students
affiliated with numerous degree-granting programs within and
outside the biological sciences. Competitive research space
and start-up funding will be available, as will the potential
for interactions with our affiliates, Argonne National
Laboratory and the Marine Biological Laboratory.
Applicants must have a doctoral degree or
equivalent in epidemiology, health services research, health
economics, or a related field by September 1, 2018, and not
yet be an assistant professor. To be considered, those
interested must apply online at the University of Chicago's
Academic Career Opportunities website
https://tinyurl.com/ya7ehclm . Applicants must upload a
curriculum vitae with bibliography and statements on past and
prospective research, teaching, and contribution to diversity
and inclusion. Two publications, preprints, or dissertation
chapters must also be uploaded. Review of applications will
commence 26 January 2018 and continue until the position is
filled.
