The Division is well-known for its work across translational spectrum from efficacy to dissemination trials.  The candidate will complement existing methodological faculty who have expertise in social network analysis, systems science, longitudinal latent class and growth mixture modeling, and mixed methods analysis. The interdisciplinary nature of the Division faculty encourages collaborative research, particularly research that is part of program projects, U, or other types of large center-type grants. The candidate will be encouraged to form research collaborations that involve “big data analytics” with other faculty within the division as well as with faculty in other divisions, particularly with faculty in the Divisions of Biostatistics, Cancer Epidemiology, and/or Bioinformatics. The Department, and the Division of Health Behavior Research, has active teaching and training programs at the undergraduate, master’s (e.g., MPH, MS in Health Data Science), doctoral (Ph.D. programs in Health Behavior, Biostatistics, and Epidemiology), and postdoctoral levels. All of these provide the candidate with the opportunity to participate in teaching and form research labs of students who register for research credit, or who are funded as trainees under NIH T32 training programs. The recruitment package is highly competitive, and includes housing assistance, protected time to develop research and coursework, and access to doctoral and postdoctoral trainees for assistance in research.Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a personal research statement, a brief summary of research accomplishments and future goals, and contact information for three references to: Ricky Bluthenthal at ricky.bluthenthal@med.usc.edu.
