The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for several Assistant Professor positions in either the non-tenure clinician educator track or the tenure track.

Teaching responsibilities may include participation in departmental PhD, MSCE, and MS training programs. Candidates are expected to have a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring.
Clinical responsibilities may include participation in clinical research, contributing expertise in study design and data analysis, and providing essential leadership to many of the clinical research programs at Penn Medicine.
