The School of Global Public Health (GPH) at New York University seeks applications for an Assistant Professor (tenure track) within the Department of Epidemiology. We seek an energetic, innovative researcher and teacher who works collaboratively to join our growing faculty. We are interested in an applicant with expertise in cancer epidemiology, with a strong foundation in biological and epidemiological methods.

The Department of Epidemiology is home to a group of vibrant researchers from different disciplines including infectious diseases, tobacco and drug use, health inequalities, mental health disorders, social determinants of health, chronic diseases, and genetics. Epidemiology has about 120 Masters students and several PhD students, and teaches courses in the school’s undergraduate program. The candidate will be expected to teach departmental courses, serve on committees, mentor students, and maintaining an active and productive research agenda.

GPH seeks candidates of exceptional potential and emerging scholarship who can contribute to the academic and research enterprise in NYC and throughout New York University’s key Global Network University (GNU) campuses and study-away sites (3 portal campuses and 12 global academic centers in Africa, South America, North America, China, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East). The unique GNU arrangement allows GPH faculty to establish training and degree programs and research efforts worldwide; offers faculty and students truly unique opportunities to engage in their research and study around the world and informs public health practice both locally and globally through the exchange of knowledge.

GPH offers academic degrees at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels. The undergraduate program includes 13 joint majors where students study public health with other relevant subjects. The CEPH-accredited Master of Public Health degree allows students to obtain an MPH in one of nine concentrations, and the PhD in Public Health is offered in one of four areas of study – Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Social & Behavioral Sciences, and Public Health Policy & Management.
