The Department of Epidemiology ( http://epidemiology.phhp.ufl.edu/ ) at the University of Florida is recruiting up to three (3) full-time (1.0 FTE), 12-month tenure or non-tenure track faculty members at the Assistant, Associate or Professor level. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing department that has expertise in cutting edge areas including substance abuse and HIV, genetic epidemiology, cancer epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, data science, and infectious and chronic disease epidemiology.

The ideal candidates will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching, mentoring, and research conducted in a dynamic academic health center environment. The successful candidates will be expected to contribute both collaboratively and independently to externally funded research. Tenure track faculty will be principal investigators of extramurally funded research projects. Non-tenure track faculty will typically be focused on collaborative research as co-investigators. In addition, the successful candidates will be expected to teach courses that support the epidemiology and public health programs and will also contribute to service through student mentorship and committee service.

The Department of Epidemiology is strategically situated within the College of Public Health and Health Professions (PHHP) and the College of Medicine. Faculty members are jointly appointed to create synergies and collective strength, resulting in a competitive research profile and highly trained students who receive exceptional exposure to diverse expertise. Our faculty and students have received numerous national awards in research and mentoring and are committed to excellence in training. The department offers an epidemiology PhD, Master of Science, and concentration in the MPH program. It is also home to two National Institutes of Health Training grants. Faculty members are strongly supported by our college level instructional design team for course development and delivery and by our research core for grant development and submission.
