The School of Public Health
at the University of California Berkeley invites
applications for a tenure-track position at the
Assistant Professor rank or a tenured position at the
Associate Professor or Full Professor rank within the
Division of Epidemiology.
We welcome applicants
engaged in cutting-edge research that expands our
understanding of emerging and reemerging infectious
diseases in both domestic and international contexts. We
are particularly interested in research that partners
with local, state, national, or global public health
departments to translate research into practice, policy,
or systems-level improvements for infectious disease
control and prevention. Specifically, we encourage
applicants with expertise in advanced epidemiologic
methods and computational approaches to investigate: (1)
interactions among agents, hosts, vectors, and the
environment; (2) population-level characteristics of
pathogens, such as phylogenetic structure and
antimicrobial resistance dissemination; and/or (3) the
evaluation of primary, secondary, and tertiary
prevention strategies for communicable diseases. We
invite applicants with a strong commitment to community
engagement and an interest in building and sustaining
partnerships with local, state, national, or
international public health agencies and community-based
organizations. These partnerships should support the
implementation and evaluation of programs aimed at
mitigating pandemic and other infectious disease
threats, enhancing pandemic preparedness, and promoting
practical, flexible strategies tailored to the needs of
disproportionately impacted communities.
The teaching expectation for
this position is three courses per academic year. For
tenure-track candidates, there is a ramp-up period. We
are looking for individuals with mentoring and teaching
interests and experience related to epidemiology at the
undergraduate and/or graduate levels. Tenure-track
candidates will be assigned to a senior faculty mentor
through our Junior Faculty Mentoring Program and
provided with career development, guidance, and training
to ensure a pathway to success. There will also be an
assignment of service commitments at the divisional and
school levels.
The Division of Epidemiology
is one of the nation's leading research and training
programs in epidemiology and population health. We have
developed a strong reputation in infectious disease
epidemiology through long-standing collaborations with
academic institutions, the CDC, and local public health
departments to develop the gold standards of infectious
disease surveillance. Our network has also worked to
investigate the effectiveness of prevention strategies
and to guide policy decisions on vaccine development,
effectiveness, and distribution, along with other
infectious disease mitigation strategies.
The UC Berkeley School of
Public Health recognizes the intrinsic relationship
between diversity and excellence in all our endeavors.
The School embraces open and equitable access to
opportunities for learning and development as our
obligation and goal.
The school is committed to
addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual
career couples and single parents. We are also
interested in candidates who have had non-traditional
career paths or who have taken time off for family
reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers
outside academia. For information about potential
relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying
partners and spouses, please visit::
