The PHS mission is to advance health through the design, conduct and analysis of population-based biomedical research, including clinical trials, observational research, health services research, and regulatory and translational science, the support of basic science and clinical research, the education of future generations of health professionals, and the active engagement of the community to improve health and well-being.  We are looking for a highly collaborative researcher with experience in infectious disease modeling to conduct both independent and collaborative research.  Interest in teaching is required and experience teaching graduate level coursework is preferred. PHS consists of three academic divisions, namely, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Epidemiology, and Health Services and Behavioral Research. There are more than 50 PHS faculty members (24 tenured/tenure-eligible) and more than 70 support staff members. PHS provides a strong infrastructure for its faculty members and the broader College and Penn State Health in the areas of biostatistics, study design, data management, research computing, project management, and finance and administration. PHS offers six graduate programs, namely, PhD in Epidemiology, PhD in Biostatistics, Doctor of Public Health (DrPH), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Science (MS) in Clinical Research, and Master of Professional Studies in Homeland Security with an option in Public Health Preparedness, as well as several Graduate Certificate programs. The ideal candidate will have an established, externally funded research program in infectious disease modeling with demonstrated impact on public health decision‑making. Areas of strong interest include methodological and applied work in infectious disease transmission modeling; outbreak detection and forecasting; integration of statistical, mathematical, and AI‑driven models; model‑informed policy evaluation; and modeling to support health systems and vulnerable communities. Candidates whose research addresses COVID‑19, emerging pathogens, opioid‑related infections, rural health disparities, or institutional outbreak response are particularly encouraged to apply.  The successful candidate will be expected to expend approximately 80% effort on research, 15% effort on teaching and mentoring students, and 5% effort on service. The successful candidate should possess a doctoral degree in biostatistics, epidemiology or a related discipline and have a track record of scholarly activity in infectious disease modeling that includes leading NIH-funded studies.
