Department of Population Health Sciences - Climate and Health
The Department
of Population Health Sciences (DPHS) at Duke University School of Medicine invites
applications and nominations for regular-rank
faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. DPHS consists of 52
primary faculty members, 57 scholars with secondary appointments, and 97 staff
who conduct and support research and M.S. and Ph.D. programs preparing the next
generation of professionals to explore multi-level factors impacting the health
of populations. DPHS includes various research teams and resources, including the
Center for Health Measurement (CHM), Duke PopHealth DataShare that provides

Institute, Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute, Duke Global
Health Institute, Margolis Center for Health Policy, VA Health Services
Research & Development Center of Innovation, among others). The goal of DPHS is to reduce health
disparities, implement effective health innovations, measure true health needs
and their relative value to patients, and link communities and healthcare
systems. The faculty includes experts in bioethics, biostatistics, clinical
decision sciences, epidemiology, health behavior, health economics, health
informatics, health measurement, health policy, health psychology, health
services research, health sociology, implementation science, public health, and
qualitative research.
We aspire to create a community built on collaboration, innovation, creativity, equity, and inclusivity of others without biases or prejudice of any kind. Our collective success depends on a robust
exchange of ideas –
an exchange that is best when the rich diversity of our
perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourishes. To achieve this
exchange, we are committed to diversity in the staff and faculty we hire, the
policies we create, and the decisions we make. For more information about the
Department of Population Health Sciences, please visit our website: https://populationhealth.duke.edu.
We invite applications from candidates who
are interested in applying population health science methods to address the
impact of climate change on health and health disparities. As part
of Duke’s Climate Commitment and the School of Medicine strategic initiative to
scale up our climate change and health impact, successful candidates will have
track records of creativity and productivity and a commitment to integrity,
authenticity, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Many disciplines have relevance
to climate change and health research, so we invite candidates to explain the
importance of their research to this area.
