Bridging to a healthier world. Bridging to a brighter future. The University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health is accepting applications for a Department Chair and Tenured Professor of Epidemiology. Just like our beloved city of 446 bridges, Pitt Public Health is a school like no other. Spanning across seven academic departments, nearly 650 students and 500 combined faculty and staff, join a diverse and vibrant community of researchers, educators, students, collaborators, and leaders.

The Department has 43 faculty, 121 students and 112 staff and an international reputation for leadership in areas such as cardiovascular epidemiology, reproductive health, cancer control and prevention, and the epidemiology of aging. The new Chair will contribute directly to a new era in epidemiology, bringing dynamic vision and leadership on the importance of population health in the 21^st century to build on a strong foundation of research, teaching, and service.

It is expected that the incoming Chair will have the skills to foster broad collaboration across the health sciences schools and across the research continuum from bench to clinic to population and community health and that the Chair will support the department in leveraging new methodological techniques such as multi-omics, large cohort and health system data, and causal inference frameworks.  Importantly, this individual will be part of a cohort of new leaders at Pitt Public Health embracing the School’s four priorities in research and education that include: precision public health; climate and health; diversity, equity and inclusion; and inspiring the youngest students among us through the School’s Bachelor of Science in Public Health program.  The Chair is expected to play a prominent role in the local, regional, national and global biomedical and population-based research and education and community practice.
