Faculty Position
Epidemiology of Aging and Aging-Related Diseases
Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University

The Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University invites applications for a full-time faculty position in areas of aging, brain health, and related conditions. We seek motivated candidates at the associate professor or full professor level with relevant training and research experience to join the investigative team of the longstanding Black Women’s Health Study. We are eager to have join our ranks a colleague who supports our institutional commitment of ensuring that Boston University is inclusive, equitable, diverse, and a place where all constituents can thrive. We believe that diverse perspectives will enhance the quality of intellectual exchange and the creation of knowledge. Candidates from underrepresented backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply.

Minimum qualifications include a doctoral degree in epidemiology or a related field (e.g., psychology, biostatistics, neuroscience), demonstrated expertise in epidemiologic research related to aging, and a track record of scholarship in the form of peer-reviewed publications. Candidates should already have or should demonstrate the potential for extramural research funding. Academic rank will be determined in accordance with the successful candidate’s experience and scholarly record. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an independent research program with a focus on aging, including racial disparities in aging-related conditions, based in part on data and resources from the Black Women’s Health Study, and to engage in collaborative research with other Black Women’s Health Study investigators.

The Slone Epidemiology Center is located on the Boston University Medical Campus and includes faculty from both the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and the School of Public Health. We have strong research collaborations with faculty in multiple departments of those schools as well as with the Framingham Heart Study Center, the Boston University Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and the adjacent Boston Medical Center, a safety-net hospital. Slone faculty are not required to have teaching responsibilities.

Interested candidates are invited to send a cover letter stating interest in the position and desired academic rank, curriculum vitae, a statement of current research interests and future research plans, and the names of three references. Materials should be emailed to Richard Vezina: rvezina@bu.edu . Application review will begin November 1, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Boston University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.
