Job ID: 65413
The Division of
Epidemiology in the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health (JPHCOPH)
invites nominations and applications for the position of Assistant
Professor of Epidemiology. Georgia Southern University (www.georgiasouthern.edu),
a member institution of the University System of Georgia and a
Carnegie Doctoral/Research University, is one of Georgia’s premier
universities. A residential university serving more than 20,000
students, Georgia Southern is recognized for providing all of the
benefits of a major university with the feeling of a much smaller
college. Founded in 1906, the University offers more than 100
campus-based and online degree programs at the baccalaureate,
master’s, and doctoral levels through eight colleges. In 2012,
Georgia Southern was named one of the top 10 most popular
universities in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
The more than 700 acre park-like campus is located in Statesboro,
a classic Main Street community near historic Savannah and Hilton
Head Island.
The JPHCOPH at Georgia
Southern University is accredited by the Council on Education for
Public Health. Our mission is to improve the health of the public,
support the development of a talented public health workforce,
serve rural and underserved populations and support the
elimination of health disparities. We will continue to invest the
necessary resources to build this outstanding College of Public
Health that is increasingly recognized for teaching, research, and
service. Justification for development of a College of Public
Health at Georgia Southern University was directly related to the
potential impact this institution could have in Georgia and the
nation. The establishment of the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public
Health was made possible by a generous gift in 2004 from Dr. Karl
E. Peace, in memory and honor of his wife, Dr. Jiann-Ping Hsu.
The JPHCOPH offers Master of
Public Health (MPH) degrees with five emphasis areas:
Biostatistics, Community Health, Environmental Health,
Epidemiology, and Health Policy & Management and the Master of
Healthcare Administration (MHA). In addition, we offer three
Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degrees in Community Health
Education and Behavior, Biostatistics, and Public Health
Leadership.
