The Departments of Biostatistics and Health Services at the University of Washington wish to fill one or more full-time (100% FTE) faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. The primary appointment will be in either Biostatistics or Health Services, with a joint or adjunct appointment in the non-primary department. Applicants interested in the application of biostatistical methods to health services, health policy, or population health research are encouraged to apply. Faculty responsibilities include methodological research, applied research collaboration, and teaching.
A major portion of the faculty member's responsibilities will be to provide statistical expertise and leadership in Health Services research projects. Such projects may involve the design and analysis of studies of the cost and quality of health care, the evaluation of health promotion programs, clinical trials, surveys, or the use of large secondary data sets. The analysis of “real world” phenomena using observational data is central to the needs of the Department of Health Services. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service. Appropriate candidates will be interested in advising graduate students and in teaching one or more courses per year in Health Services and/or Biostatistics.
