Preference will be given to the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at the Associate or Full Professor level will also receive serious consideration.

We are looking for candidates who will lead innovative biostatistical scholarship, work collaboratively with biomedical researchers, and teach courses in our graduate degree programs.

We are proud to be the first American university to award a Ph.D. to a woman, and we continue our tradition of educating a diverse and talented student body. The Boston University School of Public Health pursues a detailed plan for fostering a diverse and inclusive community recognizing that diversity of experience deepens the intellectual endeavor.

The Department of Biostatistics is comprised of approximately 30 faculty, who are internationally recognized for their innovation in research and scholarship in a diverse range of areas of biostatistics including statistical genetics, clinical trials, surveillance, longitudinal studies, Bayesian statistics and risk prediction. Biostatistics faculty play leading roles in several large observational studies such as the renowned Framingham Heart Study, the Million Veterans Project and the Risk Evaluation & Education for Alzheimer’s Disease study. They actively collaborate with researchers at Boston Medical Center, New England’s largest safety net hospital, with a mission to serve underserved populations.

The department has large and successful graduate programs, including a PhD and MS in Biostatistics, an MS in Applied Biostatistics, and a Summer Institute in Biostatistics (SIBS) for undergraduates.
