About UofSC

From the Upstate to the Low country, the University of South Carolina system is transforming the lives of South Carolinians through the impact of our eight institutions and 20 locations throughout the state. More than 50,000 students are enrolled at one of eight institutions, including the research campus in Columbia and comprehensive four-year universities in Aiken, Upstate and Beaufort. In addition, our Palmetto College campuses in Salkehatchie, Union, Lancaster and Sumter enable students to earn associate or bachelor's degrees through a combination of in-person, online or blended learning.

All of our system institutions place strong emphasis on service — helping to build healthier, more educated communities in South Carolina and beyond.

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the Arnold School of Public Health (ASPH) at the University of South Carolina (USC) invites applications for a full-time, open-rank faculty position in environmental epidemiology. Research expertise in all areas of environmental epidemiology will be considered. This recruitment is part of a campus-wide strategic effort to expand the University's leadership in advancing research and educational excellence in environmental health.

The cluster will broaden expertise across disciplines to foster innovation and address the complexity of environmental health challenges through multidisciplinary scholarship. This initiative focuses on determining the impact of chemical, physical, behavioral, biological, and social environmental stressors across the lifespan, and emphasizes designing, testing, and scaling programmatic and policy interventions that address these stressors.

All applicants must hold a doctoral degree in epidemiology or a related field by their start date.

• At the assistant professor level (tenure-track), candidates should demonstrate excellence in environmental health research and the potential to secure external funding, teach graduate courses, and collaborate with public health and biomedical researchers.

• At the associate- or full-professor level (tenure-eligible), candidates must also demonstrate an established record of top-tier publications and competitive grants, a proven track record of supervising graduate students, and leadership in curriculum development, junior faculty mentoring, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The successful candidate will maintain an active research program in environmental epidemiology, engage with cross-disciplinary research teams on topics related to environmental health, mentor graduate students, and teach graduate-level environmental health/epidemiology courses.
