Job Description
Assistant Professor, Tenure Track, in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
The Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS) within the School of Public Health at the University of Washington (UW) invites applications for three tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning in Autumn quarter 2022 (12-month full-time appointment). Salary will be determined based on qualifications and experience. Our department values diversity, rigor and innovative approaches to environmental and occupational health research and practice. We seek candidates from all disciplines that inform environmental and occupational health but are particularly interested in applicants with scholarship in one of the following areas of expertise: (1) Occupational Health and Safety; (2) Environmental Epidemiology; and (3) Toxicology.
All University of Washington faculty engage in research, teaching, mentorship and service. The successful candidates will be expected to develop an independent and sustainable sponsored research program and develop a teaching portfolio that enhances the Department's teaching mission, including classroom instruction at the graduate and undergraduate level. The successful candidates will be visionary scholars who enjoy working in a highly interdisciplinary team environment. Adjunct or joint appointments in another UW department, such as the Department of Epidemiology for the Environmental Epidemiology expert, may also be appropriate for successful candidates.
DEOHS is a premier research and education department. DEOHS research programs lead in the fields of toxicology, exposure assessment, environmental epidemiology, occupational health and safety, microbiology and infectious diseases and environmental health practice-based and community-engaged research. Educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels train future leaders in environmental and occupational health sciences. As part of the top-ranked UW School of Public Health, DEOHS educates tomorrow's environmental health and safety leaders, directly impacting workers and communities through public service, innovative research and cross-disciplinary partnerships.
