The Department of Population Health and Disease Prevention in the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for a full-time Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor-in-Residence. The mission of the Department is to generate, integrate, and translate population-based knowledge into strategies to reduce the risk and burden of human disease and disability through excellence in interdisciplinary research, education, and service. The DPHDP is a focus of excellence in cross-disciplinary public health research, education, and practice at UCI. DPHDP faculty have strong expertise in global health and infectious disease, biological and behavioral mechanisms of health and illness, cancer survivorship, nutrition science, and population-based interventions. We welcome applications from candidates whose scholarship strongly complements a departmental area of focus. Some examples include research in the areas of nutrition science (e.g., nutrition and aging), global health (e.g., sustainability research, antimicrobrial resistance), or biobehavioral research (e.g., salivary bioscience, inflammation and chronic illness).
Faculty in the In-Residence Professor series are appointed based on contributions in teaching and mentoring, research, University and public service, professional competence, and/or creative activities. This is an Academic Senate position. Duties will include:
- Conduct independent and collaborative health-focused research funded by extramural sources in alignment with the departmental mission.
- Contribute to undergraduate and/graduate-level teaching and mentoring in accordance with departmental teaching expectations.
- Participate in research and scholarly activities in the discipline.
Academic rank and salary will align with training, qualifications, and experience.
