Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Seeking Assistant/Associate-Level Faculty in Epidemiology:

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine ( http://epbiwww.case.edu/ ) seeks to fill a position at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor in epidemiology. The candidate should have a strong record of publications and research funding. Appointment at the level of Associate Professor will additionally require a significant national reputation for research excellence. The faculty member will be responsible for teaching an introductory-level course in Epidemiology and for developing and conducting funded research. All areas of research are invited; however, preference will be given to candidates with expertise in methodology and collaborative research.

The Department offers a PhD in Epidemiology & Biostatistics with concentrations in Genetic Epidemiology & Bioinformatics; Global Health Epidemiology; Health Behavior & Prevention; and Health Care Organization, Outcomes, & Policy. The Department is currently growing; there are currently 25 faculty with primary appointments, 57 secondary appointments, and 41 adjunct appointments. There are 41 PhD students, 18 students in the MS in Biostatistics program, and 115 MPH students.

Case Western Reserve University and its associated hospitals (University Hospitals/Rainbow Babies, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, and VA Medical Center) provide a rich environment for clinical and population health research. Expertise in the Department includes health promotion and prevention research; infectious diseases; global and environmental health; genetics; cancer; and health disparities. Research is promoted through multiple research centers within the University including the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods ( www.prchn.org ), Comprehensive Cancer Center, Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC, http://casemed.case.edu/ctsc/ ), Cardiovascular Research Institute, Tuberculosis Research Unit, and Center for Global Health and Diseases ( http://www.case.edu/orgs/cghd/ ). In addition, Cleveland is home to world-renowned medical centers, with additional research ongoing at the Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Hospital, and VA hospital, all of which are part of the CTSC, which recently received a $64.6 million renewal grant from NIH.
