Assistant/Associate Professors of Biostatistics

The Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) seeks outstanding candidates for two positions of assistant or associate professor of biostatistics.  These are tenure-ladder positions, with the academic rank to be determined in accordance with the successful candidates' experience and productivity.

The new faculty members will focus on methodological and collaborative statistical research motivated by biomedical collaborations in the areas of environmental health sciences or AIDS research.  No specific type of statistical expertise is sought, and applicants need not have prior experience in these collaborative areas, but should be interested in developing a research agenda that is related to one of them.  Regarding the environmental health position, relevant areas of expertise may include, but are not limited to, quantitative methods for high-dimensional data, including methods for analyzing "omics" and gene-by-environment-interaction data; exposure measurement error; novel analytic and computational methods for analyzing large environmental epidemiological databases; and Bayesian data methods for complex models of environmental health effects.  For the AIDS position, all statistical areas related to observational and clinical trials research are relevant, including those required for analysis of high-dimensional data on human and/or viral genetics.  For both positions, a strong track record in the pursuit of innovative methodological research is required.  Candidates are expected to hold a doctoral degree in biostatistics or statistics.

Please send a letter of application, including a statement of current and future research interests, curriculum vitae, sample publications, and the names of four referees to the following address.  Applicants should ask their four referees to write independently to this address.  The electronic submission of application documents to the email below is welcome.
