Summary Description:
Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health is one of the leading schools of public health in the country. The Department of Epidemiology, the largest department at the Mailman School, has six core areas of strength: psychiatric and neuro-epidemiology, chronic disease epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, injury epidemiology, social epidemiology, and lifecourse epidemiology.
The department is recruiting a faculty member at the level of Associate Professor in the area of infectious disease epidemiology. As a complement to our existing strengths in infectious disease epidemiology, we are interested in bringing on faculty with expertise in clinical and applied public health research aimed at preventing the spread of TB, examining issues associated with treatment compliance and patterns of drug resistant strain development. The successful candidate will develop a broad surveillance program in Sub-Saharan Africa and will collaborate with key investigators across the Columbia University Medical Center to develop a comprehensive research program in the areas referenced above, and will play a substantial role in our educational programs as a teacher and mentor.
Minimum Degree Required:
Doctorate or terminal degree
Minimum Qualifications:
Doctoral degree in a public health or related field (PhD, ScD, DrPH, MD, or equivalent) with postdoctoral training and experience in epidemiology is required.
The department requires a strong teaching, research and publication record, as well as substantial experience leading applied public health efforts. Demonstrated success working with multidisciplinary, multi-institutional teams is essential, as is evidence of strong promise of obtaining peer reviewed funding for independent research.
