Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology. The Department of Biological Sciences in concert with the Eck Institute for Global Health (globalhealth.nd.edu) seeks faculty candidates who use quantitative approaches to study mechanisms that influence the dynamics and/or control of human pathogen transmission. Candidates with cross-disciplinary interests in areas including epidemiology, quantitative modeling, disease ecology, or evolutionary approaches are encouraged to apply.

New faculty will contribute to the undergraduate and graduate teaching mission of the Department of Biological Sciences. The successful candidate will be expected to establish a vigorous externally funded research program that complements active interdisciplinary research in the department and across the University.

New faculty will join an integrative and collaborative research community with expertise that spans the breadth of the life sciences. Several faculty have active research partnerships with international field sites and associated partners, including in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the South Pacific. Department faculty have access to state-of-the-art genomics, bioinformatics, computing, mass spectrometry and proteomics, and imaging cores, specialized BSL-3 containment laboratories, insect rearing and research facilities, and an AAALAC-accredited animal facility. Information on department and other college faculty and facilities can be found at http://biology.nd.edu and http://science.nd.edu. Opportunities also exist for collaboration with faculty at the adjoining Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend.

Review of applications will commence November 27, 2017, and will continue until suitable candidates are identified.
