Instructional Faculty in Biostatistics or Epidemiology – Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the College of Public Health at Temple University is hiring a non-tenure track instructional faculty member in either Biostatistics or Epidemiology, and we invite applications for an enthusiastic instructor to teach undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in either biostatistics or epidemiology with a July 1, 2027 start date.

Instructional faculty teach a combination of in-person and online courses, and the University offers excellent professional development in teaching. Instructional faculty have opportunities to participate in collaborative research with colleagues and participate in the Department’s Research Methods and Biostatistics Core, which offers comprehensive methodological and biostatistical consultation, as well as computational services to researchers in the College of Public Health, Temple University, and other institutions. Faculty are also expected to contribute meaningfully to campus life through engagement in departmental, college, and university service. Salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with credentials and experience

QUALIFICATIONS . We seek collegial faculty with an earned doctorate in biostatistics, epidemiology, or a related discipline before the start date. Faculty should possess strong quantitative skills and demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching, and a commitment to creating inclusive, accessible spaces for all students. Because the Department offers courses for students in multiple disciplines (e.g., nursing, kinesiology, health sciences), we prefer candidates experienced in teaching and mentoring students from different backgrounds and skilled in teaching quantitative courses to students with a range of aptitudes and using a variety of statistical software (e.g., SAS, R). Online teaching experience is also highly desirable. Rank is at the assistant professor of instruction.

THE DEPARTMENT . The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics combines curiosity with rigorous, applied methods that lead to compelling questions and impactful results to improve public health. This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic department committed to ensuring students have the academic support to excel in our programs and that alums have the skills and experience to succeed in their professions. The Department has 15 full-time faculty with expertise in mediation, causal inference, missing data and measurement error, semiparametric regression, spatial methods, high-dimensional data, latent variable modeling, and psychometrics as well as multiple study designs and methods, behavioral and chronic disease epidemiology, cancer prevention and control, environmental and occupational exposures, seroepidemiology and disease modeling, aging and cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease. The Department annually enrolls over 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students with diverse backgrounds and offers five graduate programs: PhD in Epidemiology; MPH degrees in Epidemiology (in-person and online), Applied Biostatistics, and Environmental Health; and MS in Public Health Data Science. We also administer a graduate certificate in Applied Clinical Research. Further, the Department also contributes to the College’s nationally recognized BS in Public Health and administers a minor in Applied Epidemiology, both of which are well positioned for continued growth as Temple University has achieved record first-year undergraduate deposits for the second consecutive year.
