Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University
The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University is expanding its faculty ranks and is recruiting several open-rank tenured/tenure-track), research-, and teaching-track faculty positions. We seek candidates with expertise and interests in any area of biostatistics and bioinformatics, with a particular interest in (1) tenured or tenure-track candidates with expertise in bioinformatics and multi-omics (individuals with experience and interest in metabolomics are strongly encouraged to apply), (2) tenured or tenure-track candidates with expertise in the analysis of spatial and spatiotemporal data, (3) research-track candidates with expertise in clinical trials and data coordinating centers, and (4) teaching-track faculty with experience in data science and biostatistical education for broad audiences. Academic rank will be commensurate with credentials and experience. Responsibilities involve a balance of methodological research, collaborative research, teaching and mentoring, the specific proportions of each depending on each candidates’ interests and track.
The department includes 40 primary faculty members currently supported by a wide range of external funding. Faculty engage in diverse methodological research areas with specific motivation from an equally broad array of public health focus areas, including Alzheimer’s disease, infectious diseases, cancer, cardiovascular and renal disease, epidemiological surveillance, and environmental and mental health. The department participates in the Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance, serves as the Data Coordinating Center for several NIH clinical trials, and operates the Biostatistics Collaborative Core. The department offers a doctoral graduate program in Biostatistics, master’s degree programs in Biostatistics, and participates in an interdisciplinary doctoral program in Computer Science and Informatics.
Collaborative opportunities exist within the Rollins School of Public Health and throughout Emory’s Woodruff Health Sciences Center including the School of Medicine, the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, the Winship Cancer Institute, Emory National Primate Center, the Vaccine Center, the Center for AIDS Research, the Center for AI Learning, and with nearby partner institutions the VA Medical Center and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Applicants for any position must apply to the job posting by uploading a cover letter, a complete curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests (optional for consideration for the teaching-track position), and a statement of teaching experience and philosophy (optional for consideration for the research-track position) and arrange for the submission of three reference letters. We encourage applicants to specify experience related to areas of interest (1)-(4) above. For questions, please contact Mary Abosi (mabosi@emory.edu).
