The CGHD is a university-wide applied research center at Boston University and is administratively housed within the BU School of Public Health. Its core staff, who have expertise in clinical medicine, public health, demography, anthropology, and economics, devote most of their time to collaborative research projects funded by international donors. Core researchers of the CGHD hold appointments in the BUSPH and have the opportunity to teach in the Department of International Health and in other departments as research commitments and course needs allow. The CGHD’s mission encompasses a range of issues in international health and development.

CHS was formed in 2009 by merging the departments of Social & Behavioral Sciences and Maternal & Child Health. The department’s educational program includes the MPH and DrPH degrees; CHS is also poised to offer a new applied research PhD. The faculty’s current research program includes studies of public health problems that emerge from individual behavior, interpersonal influences, and institutional, community, and cultural forces; the design and imple­mentation of programs and policies to improve health conditions; rigorous experimental and evaluation research; and mixed-methods and community-based participatory research.

Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent degree in public health, the social and behavioral sciences, maternal and child health, or related fields. We seek candidates who are committed to teaching excellence and student mentorship and who have demonstrated outstanding scholarship through publication and show potential for securing external funding. Specialty areas could include a scholarly focus on children with special health needs, health communications, injury prevention, mental health, obesity prevention, and eliminating health disparities, but other specialty areas will be considered.

One of the CGHD's largest research programs aims to understand and strengthen the global response to HIV/AIDS, and in particular to evaluate and improve the prevention, care, treatment, and mitigation interventions currently underway in Africa and Asia. New opportunities to conduct applied economic evaluation have created an opening for an additional research scientist to contribute to multiple studies and serve as the principal investigator for one or two.

Responsibilities: The current opening is for a versatile health economist or epidemiologist with experience in health costing who can both provide statistical and economic analysis support to study teams and take leadership on individual studies. Initial responsibilities will include substantial technical involvement in studies and modeling of the outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness of HIV and TB interventions in Africa. Other responsibilities, new projects, and new areas of work can be developed based on the researcher's interests and abilities. The position is likely to require approximately 10-20% time overseas, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. Teaching responsibilities in the degree programs of Boston University will depend on the candidate’s abilities and the need for course instructors.

Requirements:
Doctoral degree in economics, epidemiology, or a related field (e.g. public health, public policy). Candidates with primary training in epidemiology, clinical medicine, or another field with interest and experience in health economic evaluation will be considered.

• Technical competence in cost and cost-effectiveness analysis and statistical analysis.
• Substantial experience in carrying out applied research in developing country settings.
• A demonstrated ability to develop and implement new projects.
• Demonstrated leadership potential, resourcefulness, and intellectual creativity.

Interested candidates should send letter, CV, and writing sample by e-mail to Emily Morin, Center for Global Health and Development, Boston University School of Public Health, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
