Deadline: Oct 02, 2027 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for several Assistant Professor positions in either the non-tenure clinician educator track or the tenure track. Expertise is required in the specific area of epidemiologic methods development and application, with the ability to establish oneself as a research leader in their area of specialization.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree.
Teaching responsibilities may include participation in departmental PhD, MSCE, and MS training programs. Candidates are expected to have a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring.
Clinical responsibilities may include participation in clinical research, contributing expertise in study design and data analysis, and providing essential leadership to many of the clinical research programs at Penn Medicine.
Research or scholarship responsibilities may include developing an independent, extramurally funded research program and/or serving as a key scientific collaborator in team-based science.
We are particularly interested in candidates whose work aligns with one or more of the following strategic areas:
Climate Change and Health Epidemiology
Health Equity and Social Epidemiology

The Division of Epidemiology includes over 65 full-time faculty with either a primary or secondary appointment who have diverse expertise across many different health-related and methodological areas. Ours is one of three divisions constituting the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, an integral part of Penn Medicine, one of the nation's top medical school and academic health systems, with strong links to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, one of the nation's top children's hospitals.
