We seek a colleague with research and training in Environmental Epidemiology. Applicants should have experience in interdisciplinary environmental health research and teaching, and the potential to develop and maintain a highly recognized, externally funded, research portfolio on the impacts of climate change and health. Applicants with a focus on effects of chemical exposures, climate, air pollutants, and the built environment on health across the lifespan, or community health and disaster management are of particular interest. Applicants for the tenure track position must hold a doctorate degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, or public health, or a related field. Evidence of extramural research funding and publications must be commensurate with years of professional experience. We expect our faculty to build an externally funded research program, publish in leading journals, and be committed to advancing health equity and to impacting public and population health. As minimum qualifications for consideration, applicants will have evidence of or strong potential for establishing an independent, extramurally funded research program, a demonstrated interest in teaching, and a commitment to epidemiology and public health. Candidates will be responsible for advising and mentoring students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty scholars.

Faculty members will receive a competitive salary, dedicated research space, and protected time for scholarship. The position includes start-up funds for research support.
