Chair and Professor, Department of Epidemiology The Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George
Washington University (GW) welcomes applications and nominations
for the position of Chair of the Department of Epidemiology (DEPI).
The School is CEPH-accredited with graduate-level research and
education programs spanning seven departments: Epidemiology;
Biostatistics and Bioinformatics; Environmental and Occupational
Health; Exercise and Nutrition Sciences; Global Health; Health
Policy and Management; and Prevention and Community Health.
About the Department of Epidemiology: This
position represents an uncommon opportunity to harness remarkable
strengths across an incredibly broad portfolio of
disciplines. The Department occupies a unique position in
academic public health education. Given its location in
Washington, D.C. and this national moment of great focus on
healthcare, public health, and the policies behind them, the
Department is in the right place at the right time. Faculty
have oriented the Department to address the pressing health policy
issues nationally. The Department's combination of research faculty
and tenured/tenure-track faculty have been remarkably successful
contributing to the scholarship, policy, and practice in the
field. They work with a cohesive, shared sense of mission and
entrepreneurialism. The Department offers multiple degree
programs, including MPH, MS, and PhD. The successful candidate will
build on the Department's existing excellence, effectively manage
its organizational structure and research and academic operations,
mentor junior faculty and students, extend its interdisciplinary
reach, and leverage the resources of the University. The
School seeks a Chair who is committed to advancing and leading the
mission of the faculty, staff, and students in scholarship, policy,
and education through service and scholarship.
Qualifications: The Chair must be
tenure-eligible at the rank of Professor with a track record of
successful leadership and management experience. The Chair
must also possess national or international prominence for their
scholarship within the many epidemiology disciplines.
To Apply: Applications should be
sent via email to Josh.Ward@KornFerry.com and
must include 1) a full CV and 2) a letter of interest that
addresses the applicant's motivation to apply, highlights any
experiences that align with the responsibilities and requirements
described above, and details the applicant's interest in the
Department of Epidemiology at GW. Review of applications will
begin on June 10, 2022 and will continue until the position is
filled. Employment offers are contingent on the satisfactory
outcome of a standard background screening. Send application
materials (CV and cover letter), nominations, and inquiries to the
email address below. For priority consideration, please apply
by June 10, 2022.
