Association of American Medical Colleges
Open Rank Faculty in Precision Health for Populations
Association of American Medical Colleges, Charlottesville, Virginia, United States, 22904
The Department of Public Health Sciences (PHS), School of Medicine, at the University of Virginia (UVA) and UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center (UVACC) invites talented researchers to join an exemplary team of investigators to advance precision health strategies directed to cancer prevention and control and reducing cancer disparities. This is part of a major Grand Challenges research investment of over $50M in Precision Medicine/Precision Health.
Applicants are sought at the rank of
Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor
with a terminal degree (e.g., PhD, MD, ScD) to apply for tenure-track/eligible faculty positions supported under a newly announced Precision Health initiative.
The University of Virginia's 2030 plan recognizes Precision Health as a major societal challenge and an opportunity for multidisciplinary work that draws on our existing strengths. In partnership, the Provost and the deans of applicable schools are making multiple coordinated faculty recruitments to strengthen the research community focusing on Precision Health for Populations across the University. Faculty recruits will receive support from the Provost and their respective schools and will participate in the Precision Health for Populations Initiative.
Cancer Community Interventionist: We are seeking researchers trained in
implementation sciences and community-based research
to join this UVA sponsored Precision Health Initiative. The successful candidate will envision, plan, and conduct innovative multilevel interventions that advance cancer risk reduction, early detection, and outcomes in collaboration with the Cancer Center's Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) program and community stakeholders. The goal is to broaden our ability to prevent, diagnose, and/or delay cancer processes or events in diverse populations by leveraging evidence-based interventions. The hired faculty will have a primary appointment in PHS and will be part of the UVACC's Cancer Prevention and Population Health research program. Candidates must have a proven track record of funded intervention research focused on cancer prevention, detection, access to care, and addressing inequities related to race, ethnicity, poverty, sex, gender, or geography. They should also have a history of collaboration with community-based teams and key focal sites such as healthcare practices, community centers, organizations, or neighborhoods.
Cancer Digital Health/Behavioral-health Interventionist: We are seeking researchers trained in
digital health technologies
for cancer prevention and control. Applicants should have experience envisioning, planning, and conducting innovative digital interventions using platforms such as cellphones, text messaging, mobile apps, and web-based modules. The goal is to expand cancer prevention and control efforts through personalized digital strategies tailored to individual needs across diverse settings. Candidates must have a track record of funded research relevant to digital interventions in cancer screening, early detection, or personalized therapies. Collaboration experience with multidisciplinary teams and community partners is essential.
