Position Summary
Open Rank Faculty Position in Clinical Epidemiology 
The Department of Epidemiology at the Indiana University (IU) Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health (FSPH) is recruiting a physician-scientist for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in clinical epidemiology. Primary responsibilities will be research as well as mentoring in the department’s graduate epidemiology programs. Faculty at FSPH are also expected to teach at least one course relevant to public health at the graduate or undergraduate level. 
In addition to primary duties within FSPH, we seek candidates who are interested in a secondary appointment with the IU School of Medicine as well as those who desire to practice clinically with one of our partners: Eskenazi Health, IU Health, or the Roudebush VA Medical Center. 
About the School and Department:
The mission of FSPH is to cultivate innovative, interdisciplinary, community engaged education, research and service and prepare leaders in public health and health care. Health is defined as the capacity to develop full human potential, not simply the absence of disease. In promoting the health of communities, FSPH emphasizes the prevention of disease and injury and recognizes the interconnectedness of the physical environment and ecosystem to the health of the community. Established in 2012, FSPH is fully accredited by CEPH and offers three PhD programs, an MPH with five concentrations, an MHA program, several graduate degrees, and BS degrees in Health Services Management and Public Health. Prior to 2012, the School was a department within the IU School of Medicine. Long-standing collaborations are in place with key community entities, including the Indiana State Health Department, the Marion County Public Health Department, and a wide variety of community organizations and industry partners. 
The Department of Epidemiology possesses a strong track record in NIH-funded research as well as extramural research funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Indiana State Department of Health, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The department’s faculty are national and international experts in cancer, genetics, coronary heart disease, diabetes, nutrition, public health infectious disease reporting, and public health practice. 
About the Campus:
The FSPH is located on the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis, Indiana. The IUPUI campus is the focal point of health sciences research and health professions education at IU, which includes the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and School of Dentistry. The IUPUI campus is also home to the Regenstrief Institute, an internationally respected health services and informatics research organization recognized for its role in improving quality of care, increasing efficiency of healthcare delivery, preventing medical errors and enhancing patient safety. Qualified candidates will be considered for an appointment at one of the Institute’s three centers: the Center for Health Services Research, Center for Biomedical Informatics, or Center for Aging Research. 
The IU Melvin & Bren Simon Cancer Center, part of the IU Health System, is Indiana’s only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center that provides patient care, and is one of only 69 in the nation. The IU Health System, headquartered at IUPUI, includes 17 hospitals and multiple clinics throughout the state with 2.7 million patient encounters annually. The FSPH also has strong ties with multiple other hospital systems throughout the state and region.
