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).
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.
Qualifications
Required: A master's degree in biostatistics, statistics, or a related field experience teaching statistics/biostatistics or serving as a teaching assistant at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.
Preferred: A doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistics, or a related field, and experience teaching courses at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.
