The Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences (BCHS) at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (http://www.publichealth.pitt.edu/) is announcing a full-time faculty position in modeling and simulation of health behavior. 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 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.
