The Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University invites applications for a full-time faculty position in the field of cancer epidemiology. We are seeking motivated candidates at any level. We are eager to welcome a colleague who shares our commitment to making Boston University an inclusive, equitable, and diverse community-one where all members can thrive. We believe that diverse perspectives enhance the quality of intellectual exchange and the creation of knowledge.

The Slone Epidemiology Center is located on the Boston University Medical Campus and includes faculty from both the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and the School of Public Health. We have strong research collaborations with faculty in multiple departments of those schools, including the Hematology/Oncology Section of the Department of Medicine, as well as with the Framingham Heart Study Center, the Boston University Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and the adjacent Boston Medical Center, a safety-net hospital. Slone faculty are not required to have teaching responsibilities.

Boston University offers highly competitive salaries, excellent medical and retirement benefits, a wide array of personal and professional resources, and an outstanding community of students and scholars with diverse professional and life experiences.

Required Skills

Minimum qualifications include a doctoral degree in epidemiology or a related field (e.g., biostatistics, data science, bioinformatics, population health sciences), with demonstrated expertise in population-based cancer research and a track record of scholarship in the form of peer-reviewed publications. Candidates should already have or should demonstrate the potential for extramural research funding. Academic rank will be determined in accordance with the successful candidate's experience and scholarly record. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an extramurally funded independent research program with a focus on cancer prevention, cancer outcomes, or cancer molecular epidemiology based in part on data and resources from the Black Women's Health Study.

Interested candidates are invited to send a cover letter stating interest in the position and desired academic rank, curriculum vitae, a statement of current research interests and future research plans, and the names of three references. Materials should be emailed to Richard Vezina: rvezina@bu.edu. Review of applications will begin on September 15, 2025 and continue until the position is filled.
