Department Chair, Epidemiology and Biostatistics - The University of Arizona
Description:
The Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH) at the University of Arizona (UArizona) invites applicants for the Chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. We seek a strategic leader and distinguished scholar who has established expertise and leadership in Epidemiology or Biostatistics. The ideal candidate has demonstrated the ability to lead and contribute to interdisciplinary research, teaching, and/or service teams. At the UArizona, we value our inclusive climate, and we seek individuals who have experience working with diverse students, colleagues, and communities.
We are seeking a dynamic epidemiologist or biostatistician to provide leadership and vision for the Department; to build on the strong foundation of research, teaching, and service of our faculty and students; and to foster an intellectual environment that supports diverse perspectives and excellence. We seek to strengthen innovation in instruction and research, to stimulate transdisciplinary research, to increase experiential learning for both undergraduate and graduate students, and to expand community engagement to align with the goals of MEZCOPH and the UArizona. The Chair is expected to collaborate with other researchers at UArizona as well as with public health partners and collaborators throughout the state of Arizona and globally.
The Department leads the Epidemiology and Biostatistics MPH, MS, and PhD degree programs, a Population Health Data Science minor, and a Quantitative Track in the College’s Public Health Undergraduate Program. Faculty in the Department also contribute to other degree programs, including the College-wide One Health MPH degree, the Statistics Graduate Interdisciplinary Program (MS and PhD), and certificate programs within the UArizona.
