BCHS applies cutting-edge behavioral and social science methods to examine how people recognize health threats and obtain care and what factors determine community health. Our faculty is engaged in research addressing a wide range of health topics and is well known for behavioral and community health interventions, dynamic models of health behavior change, community health assessment, community-partnered research, and evaluation science. We seek an assistant or associate professor with skills in computational, simulation, and modeling approaches to the dynamics of health behavior change. Formal models of health behavior may include health protective behaviors (e.g., screening, vaccination, and nonpharmacologic responses to disease threat), risk behaviors (e.g., substance abuse, sexual behaviors, or interpersonal violence), or other behaviors relevant for infectious and chronic disease risk. Candidates should be skilled in agent-based models, social network analysis, mobile sensing, neural networks, or related methods. We seek candidates with an earned doctorate in public health, a related social science discipline, or systems science and an interest in building bridges across disciplines within the school of health sciences and across the university The academic responsibilities of this position include research, teaching, and service. The successful candidate will show evidence of scholarly productivity and either a history of extramural research funding or potential to transition to independent investigator. The successful candidate will work with our Public Health Dynamics Laboratory (https://www.phdl.pitt.edu/) and join the group of BCHS faculty already working to apply computational modeling to behavioral and community health issues.
