The CEPH-accredited School of Public Health at Texas A&M University invites applications for a full- time open-rank tenure-track positions in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Texas A&M University is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), is a Carnegie Classification R1-Very High Research Activity, and is one of only 17 institutions in the nation to hold the triple designation as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university. The School of Public Health is going through multiple years of expansion having hired ten new faculty members in the past year and is recruiting for a tenure track position in Biostatistics or Epidemiologic Methods this year. Salary will be commensurate with experience. The successful candidates will be actively engaged in scholarship and extramural research activity, will teach face-to-face and online graduate and undergraduate courses in epidemiology or biostatistics, and will provide academic advising and mentoring for Master and Doctor of Public Health graduate students. The positions are 9-month hard-money funded appointments with a standard teaching load of four classes a year: two in Fall and two in Spring. External research funding and service to the profession is expected. These appointments will ideally start January 1, 2025, although the start date is flexible. Interviews will start in September 2024, and applications will be considered until the positions are filled. This is an exciting opportunity for individuals who thrive in a dynamic environment to join a growing department with a commitment to scholarly inquiry, rigorous research and high-quality teaching and mentoring.
