The successful applicant also will be expected to engage in inter-and multidisciplinary research with other investigators at OSU or elsewhere.

The Division of Epidemiology has an excellent track record for NIH-funded research. It provides a cooperative and supportive environment within a larger University setting. In addition to the College of Public Health, OSU has six other health allied Colleges, the Glenn College of Public Affairs, and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to the study of issues related to race and ethnicity.
