The Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health invites applications for an open-rank tenure-track faculty position with a focus on infectious disease epidemiology. We seek a scholar whose research bridges epidemiologic methods with laboratory-based investigation (e.g., virology, immunology, molecular diagnostics) to understand transmission, pathogenesis, immunity or prevention of infectious diseases. The successful candidate will have or develop a research program that includes a laboratory component focused on one or more pathogens, at either the national or global level.

We are interested in a broad range of substantive areas, including virology, immunology, and global health. We especially encourage applications from scientists whose research focuses on biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) pathogens; the epidemiology and transmission of viral pathogens; vector-borne diseases; emerging viral infections; immunology; pathogenesis; and/or work in a global setting.

We are particularly interested in candidates whose research, teaching, and service contribute to the strength and excellence of our academic community and to the field of public health. Ultimately, we seek to recruit and retain a workforce that reflects our commitment to serving the people of Michigan, upholding the University's standards of excellence, and providing our students with a wide range of perspectives, educational experiences, and ways of understanding the world.

Required qualifications include a doctoral-level degree in epidemiology or a closely related field, and a strong track record of, or potential to develop, independent infectious disease epidemiologic research. Applicants should also have demonstrated, or show potential for, excellence in graduate-level teaching.
