Our faculty are shaping the School's ground-breaking research programs and the development of its innovative academic programs.

About the Position

The School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems (SICCS) at Northern Arizona University seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor with expertise in Health Services Research, Health Informatics, Data Science, Biostatistics and/or Epidemiology to expand our expertise in the broad area of health equity.

The successful candidate will hold a regular tenure-track faculty appointment in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems (SICCS) as well an assignment as a core member of the Center for Health Equity Research (CHER), a nationally recognized research center that seeks to eliminate health disparities among diverse populations of the southwestern United States. For more about research opportunities and synergy with CHER faculty and staff visit the https://nau.edu/center-health-equity-research.

The candidate will also have opportunities to be involved with the newly accredited residential and online Master of Public Health Program (Nutrition, Health Promotion, Indigenous Health) and the Interdisciplinary Health (IH) PhD Program (Disability, Health Equity, and Psychosocial Health) which is a collaborative effort between the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS).

Initial start-up support for this position will come from the “The Southwest Health Equity Research Collaborative (SHERC)” award to CHER/NAU from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Research Centers for Minority Serving Institutions (U54). This award enables NAU to build and expand research capacity in biomedical, clinical, and behavioral sciences across the University. Successful candidates will be expected to advance the aims of the SHERC. SHERC researchers report within their home academic units for all aspects of annual and promotion/tenure review as well as annual workload assignments. For about research goals, capacity and opportunities within SHERC visit the https://nau.edu/sherc/.

NAU is uniquely positioned to be a leading university in health equity research given our longstanding commitment to serving underrepresented students and citizens in our region, our strong working relationships with tribal, Hispanic (NAU is a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution), and rural communities, and our dedication to conducting health equity research that directly improves the lives of the people we serve.

Position Summary:

We seek applicants for a full-time (9-month) tenure-track research and teaching faculty position at the Assistant Professor level, to start in the Fall of 2025. The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Health Services Research, Health Informatics, Data Science, Biostatistics and/or Epidemiology; will have demonstrated expertise in large scale applied statistical analysis as well as an established research record in this area and will have demonstrated experience working as part of a multidisciplinary team. Scholarly work should reflect best practices regarding statistical analysis and reporting, study design, study recruitment, and other indices of optimal and transparent research.

We value diversity and seek individuals committed to collaborative, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged research. Researchers in all areas of large-scale statistical analysis within the public health domain are encouraged to apply. Areas of specific research growth in CHER include large-scale data analysis in cross-cutting areas such as social determinants of health, behavioral and clinical health, and methodological and analytical strategies for community-based, randomized control/experimental and multilevel interventions.

SICCS offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees, with roughly fifty faculty, 1500 undergraduates and 300 graduate students associate spanning bio/eco/health-informatics, computer science, and autonomous systems engineering. Our core mission is to integrate interdisciplinary developments in scientific and engineering knowledge around computation, data, and systems with traditional science and public health disciplines to drive breakthroughs that address key 21st-century challenges.
