The Department seeks candidates for a faculty position at the level of full professor with tenure, who will take a leadership role in the department’s clinical trials and infectious disease research agendas as the director of the Center for Biostatistics in AIDS Research (CBAR). Candidates should have backgrounds in quantitative health sciences research with demonstrated expertise in the development of biostatistical methods for clinical trials and applications related to infectious diseases research, as well as strong collaborative research records, including leadership in innovation in the design and analysis of clinical trials, observational and mechanistic studies, and related laboratory data investigations. Candidates should also have a demonstrated commitment to mentorship of students, trainees, and/or early career investigators, which is an essential component of this position. Responsibilities will include methodological and collaborative research, and teaching and supervision of graduate students. Candidates must also have a broad familiarity with regulatory science.
This faculty member would hold a primary appointment in the Department of Biostatistics. In addition to directing CBAR, a key requirement of the position will be to take a leadership role with at least 50% effort as a multi-principal investigator of the Statistical and Data Analysis Center for the NIH-funded international clinical trials network known as the ACTG (Advancing Clinical Therapeutics Globally for HIV/AIDS and Other Infections [actgnetwork.org]; formerly the AIDS Clinical Trials Group). CBAR and the ACTG are engaged in a range of studies of infectious diseases, with particular focus on HIV, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, COVID-19 and mpox. These studies include clinical trials from phase 1 to phase 4; cohort and other observational studies; pathogenesis and drug mechanistic studies; and associated methodological research. CBAR has a staff of approximately 100 members, including 25-30 faculty and research scientists.
