Job Description

Job ID:  193086

This unique faculty position provides an opportunity for a quantitative epidemiologist to join a team of interdisciplinary faculty dedicated to improving global health.  Founded by gifts of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Paul G. Allen, the mission of the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health (Allen School) is to improve human health and opportunity by disease control at the animal-human interface (http://www.globalhealth.wsu.edu). The Allen School has active, highly collaborative research programs with the Kenya Medical Research Institute/CDC in Kenya that generates large data sets involving animal health, human health, and econometrics. Emphasis is on the transmission of infectious diseases within and between proximal human and animal populations, on factors that influence this transmission, and on impact assessment.  This work is expected to generate new ideas to limit disease transmission while maximizing socio- economic and human health benefits. Additional opportunities arise from current programs in both the U.S. and overseas with opportunity to develop new global health efforts.   The epidemiologist is expected to work closely with our partners and to demonstrate a commitment to the School’s public health and humanitarian mission.  The successful candidate will actively engage in the education and training mission of the Allen School, which encompasses teaching university courses, professional veterinary medical education, graduate and post-doctoral education, and short-term training for collaborative partners.

A doctoral degree (PhD or DrPH or DVM, or MD) is required before date of hire with a minimum of six months post-doctoral research experience in epidemiology and publication in top tier international journals.  Applicants with research experience and interests relevant to the global health mission of the Allen School, and a demonstrated record of scholarly activity using statistical and quantitative epidemiologic approaches to examine infectious disease transmission, socioeconomic and health impacts, are strongly  encouraged  to  apply.    The  rank  is  open  (Assistant,  Associate  or  full  Professor) depending on experience; appointments at the Associate and full Professor require a strong record of both publication and extramural funding.
