Experience Inc. Jobs

The School of Global Public Health (GPH) at New York University seeks applications for one non-tenure track Assistant Professor within the Department of Epidemiology. We seek energetic, innovative teachers and researchers who will enhance the teaching mission of the Department, including participation in the methods sequence (based on R), and who have experience in cardiovascular or cancer epidemiology. We are interested in recruiting outstanding faculty members who work collaboratively to join our growing faculty and who participate in and expand our teaching and research programs; advise and mentor students; and meaningfully contribute to a range of service-related academic activities, including curriculum development, internship placement, student recruitment and admissions, and community-building. We are strongly committed to promoting diversity and supporting students, staff, and faculty from underrepresented backgrounds.

The Department of Epidemiology is home to a group of vibrant researchers from different disciplines including infectious diseases, tobacco and drug use, health inequalities, mental health disorders, and social determinants of health. Epidemiology has about 120 Masters students and several PhD students, and teaches courses in the school’s undergraduate program. The candidate will be expected to teach departmental courses, serve on committees and mentor students, as well as maintaining an active and productive research agenda.

GPH seeks candidates of exceptional potential and emerging scholarship who can contribute to the academic and research enterprise in NYC and throughout New York University’s key Global Network University (GNU) campuses and study-away sites (3 portal campuses and 12 global academic centers in Africa, South America, North America, China, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East). The unique GNU arrangement allows GPH faculty to establish training and degree programs and research efforts worldwide; offers faculty and students truly unique opportunities to engage in their research and study around the world and informs public health practice both locally and globally through the exchange of knowledge.

GPH offers academic degrees at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels. The undergraduate program includes 13 joint majors where students study public health with other relevant subjects. The CEPH-accredited Master of Public Health degree allows students to obtain an MPH in one of nine concentrations, and the PhD in Public Health is offered in one of four areas of study – Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Social & Behavioral Sciences, and Public Health Policy & Management. In addition, a new school-wide, interdisciplinary DrPH degree launched in September 2021.

Diversity & Inclusion Statement: At NYU we are committed to inclusive excellence.

The diversity and inclusion statement offers each applicant the opportunity to highlight their past, present, and future contributions to creating inclusive excellence.

We recognize that local contexts vary across departments and disciplines and that contributions to diversity and inclusion may take many forms. Efforts to cultivate inclusive excellence might include, for example, creating opportunities for students, faculty, and staff traditionally underrepresented in the U.S. academy and/or particular disciplines; public or primary school outreach (particularly to underserved communities); contributions to the diversity of thought and perspective; efforts to increase inclusion and equity at the university or in the local community; as well as one’s own life experience.
