Description
The Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH) is seeking an outstanding colleague with emphasis on teaching and education to join our faculty as a non-tenure track faculty member, likely at the level of Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor.
There is unprecedented opportunity for positive impact on emerging scientists and public health practitioners. Primary responsibilities are to partner in teaching the department’s large courses targeted to public health students at all levels, from undergraduate to advanced graduate, and, ultimately, to lead a subset of these and to provide intellectual leadership around biostatistics pedagogy and academic programs, including degree programs as well as non-degree non-credit educational programs. Persons enthusiastic to innovate in teaching methodology, incorporate universal design and inclusive pedagogy, and advance educational knowledge are particularly sought. Scholars at the early and mid-career level are encouraged to apply.
While the current position emphasizes education, the department prides itself on providing flexibility and opportunity for career growth. If desired, the position can be structured to include a collaborative, consultative, or investigator-driven research component, alongside the core teaching responsibilities. The department features both “traditional”, classroom-based education and online education as well as educational outreach, for example through massive open online courses. Our faculty have a strong history of being leaders in developing innovative educational content in applied statistics and data science, such as through the Johns Hopkins Data Science Lab (https://jhudatascience.org/).
The BSPH is the nation’s oldest and largest school of public health, and it long has been ranked as the nation’s best. The Johns Hopkins Department of Biostatistics, founded in 1918, was the first degree-granting department of statistical science in the US and has ranked among the world’s best throughout its history. Today, the Department comprises approximately 25 tenure track faculty members, 25 research or teaching track faculty, 15 postdoctoral fellows and 75 students, approximately half seeking PhDs. Current areas of expertise are diverse, ranging from the real-time analysis of large, streaming data to philosophy and implementation of data science to statistical theory and methods. Our health applications include statistical genomics and genetics, neuroimaging, clinical trials, precision health, environmental health and many others. Education has been upheld as the department’s guiding priority throughout its history and faculty are regularly recognized with the School's highest honors in teaching. Learn more at https://publichealth.jhu.edu/departments/biostatistics. Most importantly, the department prides itself on having a history of strong mentorship for junior and mid-career faculty, and a supportive environment for collaboration and collegiality, and diversity. Women and members of under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
Expected salary range: $90,000-$200,000, depending on previous experience. The referenced salary range is based on Johns Hopkins University's good faith belief at the time of posting. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, market conditions, education/training and skill level. The rank and title of the appointment will be determined in accordance with the successful candidate’s experience and agreed portfolio of responsibilities.

Vaccine Requirements
Johns Hopkins University requires all faculty, staff, and students to receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Exceptions to the flu vaccine requirements may be provided to individuals for religious beliefs or medical reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. New hires with start dates after the required vaccination deadline and during the designated flu season must be fully vaccinated before their start date to begin working.
For positions in clinical areas or laboratories, or for those that involve work with research subjects or community contact, the pre-employment physical requires a TB screening at least six weeks before your start date. TB screening can be a negative PPD test or an IGRA (T-spot or Quantiferon blood test). A chest X-ray may be required if your TB screening is positive. Documentation of immune status against rubella (German measles), rubeola (measles), mumps, varicella (chickenpox), and hepatitis B, and documentation of having received the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination is required. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines, two (2) varicella vaccines, or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers.
Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office. An applicant who chooses to have his or her own practitioner complete the above requirements is responsible for those incurred costs.
