Associate and Full Professors of Epidemiology in Brain Health
Research
The Peter O'Donnell Jr. School of Public Health and the Peter
O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute at UT Southwestern Medical
Center are seeking exceptional candidates for multiple tenured
or tenure-track faculty positions preferably at the associate
or full professor level. Both the School and the Brain
Institute are undergoing significant expansions, and an
outstanding startup package, along with opportunities for
program development, will be provided.
We encourage applications from exceptional scholars with a
national reputation in epidemiological and population research
on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, stroke and
cerebrovascular disorders, Parkinson’s disease, or other
neurological disorders. Qualified candidates should hold a
doctoral degree (Ph.D., D.Sc., Dr.PH., or equivalent) in
Epidemiology or an MD with additional training in Epidemiology
or Clinical Investigation (M.S., M.P.H., or Ph.D.). Candidates
must demonstrate a successful, impactful research career with
a strong record of securing external funding (e.g., NIH, CDC,
AHRQ, PCORI, etc.). Experience in academic leadership, program
development, teaching, and fostering multidisciplinary
collaboration is highly desired.
The Peter O'Donnell Jr. School of Public Health and the Peter
O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute offer unique academic and
research opportunities for successful candidates. Numerous
clinic- and population-based research programs, including the
Dallas Hearts and Minds Study, provide ample opportunities for
collaboration. Additionally, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex,
home to 7.8 million people, features a large and diverse
population—41 percent Hispanic and 24 percent African
American—offering exceptional opportunities for population
health research.
UT Southwestern O'Donnell School of Public Health has a
substantial research portfolio and is emerging as a leader in
population health research. Faculty members are supported by
both quantitative and qualitative methods cores, as well as a
comprehensive range of pre- and post-grant support services.
The school’s faculty are experts in diverse fields, including
epidemiology, clinical trials, community participatory
research, implementation science, biostatistics, data science,
and social and behavioral sciences.
UT Southwestern O’Donnell Brain Institute is supported by a $1
billion campaign dedicated to advancing brain research and
clinical care. More than 2,100 faculty and staff tackle some
of the most complex problems in the brain. The institute
fosters multidisciplinary research and is committed to
building partnerships among basic, clinical, and population
scientists to achieve its mission: delivering the best
possible patient care today while creating a future of better
treatment and prevention through discovery and innovation. The
Department of Neurology, with 140 full-time faculty in 12
sections, is intensely research focused. Over the past 4
years, the department has quadrupled its NIH-funded support,
with 1 in every 4 primary faculty members being the PI of a
federally funded grant, transforming Neurology into the per
capita most highly funded of 42 departments at UT
Southwestern.
UT Southwestern boasts over 3,000 full-time faculty members,
contributing to more than $719 million in annual grant funded
research. The University is home to 24 members of the National
Academy of Medicine, 25 members of the National Academy of
Sciences and 6 Nobel laureates. The many centers of research
excellence on campus include the O’Donnell Brain Institute,
the Simmons Cancer Center (an NCI-designated comprehensive
cancer center), and an NIH-funded Clinical and Translational
Science Award Program. The UT Southwestern Medical District
spans 230 acres in Dallas. Through its own and affiliated
health systems – Parkland Health & Hospital System, Children’s
Health, Texas Health Resources, and the VA North Texas Health
Care System – UT Southwestern physicians are central to the
care of millions of residents in North Texas.
