The
Department of Epidemiology within the Geisel
School of Medicine at Dartmouth, the Dartmouth
Cancer Center, and the Center for Molecular
Epidemiology invites applications for an open rank
tenure-track position. We seek applicants to lead
an independent, innovative research program in
areas of cancer-focused epidemiology. Possible
areas of focus include molecular, life course,
nutritional, and/or environmental epidemiology
and/or the exposome. Research in novel areas of
cancer epidemiology related to DCC’s Precision
Cancer Prevention initiative are particularly
encouraged. The Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) is
an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and
the Center for Molecular Epidemiology is a NIGMS
Center for Biomedical Research excellence.
Both offer a dynamic and interactive
environment with a commitment and resources to
support research excellence and career
advancement. The faculty appointment will be in
the Department of Epidemiology, with membership in
the DCC Cancer Population Sciences research
program with additional potential for membership
in the Center for Molecular Epidemiology and other
programs throughout the medical school and
college.
Dartmouth faculty benefit from collaborative
interactions across other departments at Geisel
and across campus, including the College of Arts &
Sciences, the Thayer School of Engineering and the
Tuck School of Business. Expectations for teaching
and mentoring are a part of success in this role,
and individuals will have opportunities to
participate in graduate programs (e.g., the Program
in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, the Program
in Health Policy and Clinical Practice, and the
Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology).
Dartmouth is highly committed to
fostering a diverse and inclusive population of
students, faculty, and staff. We seek applicants
who work effectively with individuals from all
backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial
and ethnic minorities, women, those who identify
with LGBTQ communities, persons with disabilities,
are from lower-income backgrounds, veterans, and
first-generation college graduates. Applicants
should state in their cover letter how their
teaching, research, service, and/or life
experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s
commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
