Backed by a $25 million gift from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, MSU offers large or fully guaranteed salary coverage for researchers relocating substantial external funding portfolios. Highly accomplished senior faculty may also qualify for the C. S. Mott Endowed Professor of Public Health named professorship.
About the Department and Community
Founded in 2011 through a unique proposal from Flint-area hospitals and community members, the department operates on an unprecedented community-partnered model. As the first academic department to be co-developed and co-governed in partnership with the communities it serves, local citizens actively shape governance, focus areas, and serve on faculty hiring committees.
Flint is a historic hub for community-based participatory research. This community-partnered approach has driven the Department’s external funding (over $500M since beginning in 2015) and real-world impact. Featured current projects include two NIH-funded Centers (focused on maternal health equity and suicide prevention) and Rx Kids, the nation’s first universal cash prescription program for infants and expectant mothers.
About the Positions
MSU is seeking one or more biostatisticians to lead and collaborate on federally funded projects and to contribute to transparent and accessible communication of findings to the Flint community and beyond. Positions are 80-90% research effort. Areas of expected expertise include but are not limited to health economics, policy analysis, implementation science, geospatial analysis, biostatistics and research design, analysis of interventions (e.g., difference-in-differences), AI analytics, agent-based modeling, Bayesian modeling, causal inference, and measure development. We are seeking exceptional mid-to advanced-career investigators with strong external funding portfolios to fulfill this role while also pursuing their own research interests.
