Positions within the new Environmental Health Sciences initiative
The Pennsylvania State University's College of Health and Human Development invites applications for two positions within the new Environmental Health Sciences initiative.
First, we invite applications for a tenure track open rank position in environmental health for interdisciplinary scholars who study pressing local, national, international, and/or global issues with integration of social sciences to begin summer/fall 2024. This specific position is well suited to researchers utilizing multilevel approaches and/or methods focusing on interactions between social, behavioral, physiological, and environmental determinants of health. Environmental determinants of interest are those related to climate change or extreme climate events as well as those that align with the interests of NIEHS (see: https://tools.niehs.nih.gov/topics/ ). Social determinants of interest can include (but are not limited to): housing, living conditions, poverty, racism, health disparities and environmental injustice, and other issues of inequality. Behavioral and physiological issues of interest can include (but are not limited to): human responses to environmental perturbations (e.g., physical, genetic, or cognitive changes), stress and resiliency, and adaptive capacity. Interests involving pressing human issues can include climate change, how disparities and inequities in environmental health "get under the skin", and environmental policies affect susceptible populations. Colleagues with strong interdisciplinary and/or translational orientations are particularly desired. This position is co-funded by one of Penn State's interdisciplinary research institutes, the Social Sciences Research Institute (SSRI), whose mission is to foster research that addresses critical human and social problems at the local, national, and international levels.
Second, we invite applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in environmental health for scholars who utilize big data to address pressing issues in environmental health to begin summer/fall 2024. Individuals whose research utilizes state-of-the-art quantitative methodologies (including but not limited to machine learning, deep learning) to analyze any type of large, high-dimensional data (including but not limited to geospatial data, exposomics or other molecular data, and precision environmental exposure measurements) in order to generate knowledge related to the relationship between pressing local, national, international, and/or global environmental challenges and human health and well-being are welcome to apply. Environmental determinants of particular interest are those related to climate change or extreme climate events as well as those that align with the interests of NIEHS. This position is co-funded by the Institute of Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS), which fosters both high-impact computational and data science methodologies as well as their applications to address a broad range of scientific and societal challenges, multifaceted models, and their societal impacts.
The academic appointments will be in one of the College of Health and Human Development's eight academic units ( https://hhd.psu.edu/research/college-department-research ), including but not limited to the departments of Biobehavioral Health, Kinesiology, Nutrition Sciences, Human Development and Family Science, and Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management. This position is part of the College's strategic hiring initiative in environmental health sciences ( https://hhd.psu.edu/Environmental-Health-Sciences ). The initiative embraces transdisciplinary approaches addressing critical environmental health challenges. The College's commitment to this initiative builds upon our community of scholars' existing expertise in biological, behavioral, and social determinants of health, social science, human development, and public health -- thereby facilitating innovative research where the coupled human-environment systems intersect with individual and social determinants of health (e.g., age, gender, education, race, and income). Penn State University houses vast expertise and resources in environmental science (highlighted here ) that can be leveraged in meaningful collaborations around environmental health across the university.
TO APPLY, visit https://hr.psu.edu/careers to submit your application. To be considered for the position, applicants must possess a doctorate in: environmental health, public health, epidemiology, anthropology, sociology, public policy, economics, nutrition or a closely aligned field. Applicants must demonstrate excellence in research, a strong publication record, interest in collaboration across disciplines, commitment to mentoring students or early career researchers, and a track record of or strong potential for external grant funding, with excellent potential to carry forward such research and funding. To be considered for associate or full professor level, successful demonstration of an excellent extramurally funded research program is necessary. An online application should be completed and upload, including: 1) a cover letter (3 pages max), which specifically addresses the job requirements and outlines qualifications, discusses which department(s) would be suitable as the tenure home, current and future research interests, teaching philosophy, and a commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence), 2) curriculum vitae, 3) three (3) reprints or preprints that convey research interests and expertise, and 4) contact information for three (3) professional references who will be providing letters if applying at the assistant professor level or four (4) if applying at the associate or full professor level. We will request reference letters, with a short timeframe for response, only for applicants undergoing further consideration. Applications received by October 15 will be given full consideration, but applications will continue to be reviewed until the position is filled. Employment will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with university policies.
Inquiries about the position may be directed toDr. Asher Rosinger, Associate Professor of Biobehavioral Health and Anthropology, and Search Committee Chair, at axr579@psu.edu or 814-865-5220.
