Baltimore, Maryland: Assistant Professor, Cancer Health Disparities Research Program, Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Assistant Professor

The Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health seeks candidates for a tenure track Assistant Professor in the Cancer Health Disparities Research Program. The mission of the program is to advance the knowledge base toward eliminating disparities in the prevention and treatment of cancer. We endeavor to understand determinants of racial/ethnic disparities in cancer incidence and mortality, and to rigorously evaluate interventions directed to “disparities populations”.


The Department of Epidemiology is one of the oldest and largest departments of epidemiology in the world. It has over 200 doctoral and masters students and a diverse research program directed by 80+ faculty members.


Applicants should demonstrate experience in the application and teaching of epidemiological methods in community-oriented cancer control research as well as a commitment to multi-disciplinary, collaborative work. Applicants should also demonstrate experience in the examination of the effect(s) of relevant exposures (physical and social environment, genetics, etc.) on health disparities. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong record of peer-reviewed publications and competitive funding. Applicants should have a doctorate in epidemiology or a related discipline such as social and behavioral sciences, medicine, nursing, genetics or human biology.
