Climate Change and Health Epidemiology Assistant Professor
Positions

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Open Date: Sep 05, 2023

Deadline: Sep 05, 2025 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time

The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Perelman
School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks
candidates for several Assistant Professor positions in either the
non-tenure clinician educator track or the tenure track. Expertise
is required in the specific area of epidemiologic methods
development and applications, with the ability to establish oneself
as a research leader in the area of climate change and health.
While both tenure and clinician-educator track faculty conduct
methodological and collaborative research, tenure track faculty
focus primarily on methodological research while clinician-educator
track faculty focus primarily on collaboration. Applicants must
have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree.

Teaching responsibilities may include participation in departmental
PhD, MSCE, and MS training programs. Candidates are expected to
have a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring.

Research or scholarship responsibilities will include developing an
independent, extramurally funded research program and/or serving as
a key scientific collaborator in team-based science.

The Division of Epidemiology includes over 65 full-time faculty
with either a primary or secondary appointment who have diverse
expertise across many different health-related and methodological
areas. Ours is one of three divisions constituting the Department
of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, an integral part of
Penn Medicine, one of the nation's top medical school and academic
health systems, with strong links to the Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia, one of the nation's top children's hospitals. The
University of Pennsylvania's twelve schools share a compact urban
campus, providing a vibrant, collaborative environment with unique
access to health and biomedical data and clinical research
collaborators. There are also exciting opportunities to integrate
research programs on climate change and health within existing
programs at Penn, including the Center for Excellence in
Environmental Toxicology, Philadelphia Regional Center for
Children's Environmental Health, and the Penn Environmental
Innovations Initiative.

We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the
broadest sense. The University of Pennsylvania is an EOE.
Minorities/women/individuals with disabilities/protected veterans
are encouraged to apply.
