South Carolina (USC) invites applications for a 9-month
tenure-track faculty position in a discipline of public health
at the rank of Assistant Professor. This search is focused on
recruiting a faculty member with expertise and interest in
conducting translational research (i.e., using system-based
approaches to apply research findings into practical
applications) across a variety of clinical and community
settings and engaging colleagues across disciplines. This
position is part of an exciting new initiative at the
University of South Carolina, The Center for Clinical &
Translational Research at the University of South Carolina (ClinTrUSC).The

develop a vibrant independent research area focused on
translational public health research.
This position presents an excellent opportunity to collaborate
with academic colleagues from different colleges and schools
within the University and clinical colleagues engaged in a
wide variety of biomedical disciplines and allied health
professions (e.g., nursing, physical therapy, nutrition,
speech-language pathology and audiology). It also will entail
working closely with the community we are here to serve in a
manner consonant with the principles of community-based
participatory research (CBPR).
The successful applicant will be expected to maintain an
active research program within one of six academic departments

Sciences; Epidemiology/Biostatistics; Exercise Science; Health
Promotion, Education, & Behavior; and Health Services Policy
& Management); teach courses in their field of expertise, with
a special focus on translational research; mentor graduate
students; and contribute to their home department, the Arnold
