July 1, 2024. Candidates should demonstrate evidence of
potential for high-quality scholarly research and the
potential for excellence in teaching and competing for
external research funding. Candidates with research expertise
from all areas of epidemiology and biostatistics will be
considered. Examples of epidemiology faculty expertise are
infectious disease epidemiology, genetic epidemiology,
epidemiology of aging, perinatal epidemiology, cancer
epidemiology, social epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology,
and epidemiology of cardiometabolic outcomes. Examples of
biostatistics faculty
expertise are
multivariate
analysis,

and survival
