Clemson University’s Department of Public Health Sciences (DPHS) seeks applicants to apply for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in One Health. “One Health” broadly defined encompasses collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approaches with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes by recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

The department is also home to the Center for Public Health Modeling and Response (PHMR). The mission of PHMR is to develop and utilize data-driven approaches to inform clinical and public health decision-making and assist the ability of health organizations and communities to prepare for, and respond to, public health threats.
