About The Position

The Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) and Emory/Georgia Tuberculosis Research Advancement Center (TRAC), Atlanta, Georgia, seek scholars for faculty appointment at any rank, in tenure-track or research-track positions, in the field of tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology and clinical research.

Candidates with research programs in other areas of TB will also be considered. Candidates for senior positions should have a strong record of scholarship, extramural funding as a principal investigator, and evidence of excellence in teaching and/or mentorship.

TRAC faculty members have an outstanding portfolio of basic, translational and clinical research in diverse fields, including: TB transmission, immunity, pathogenesis, infection and progression to TB disease, preventive treatment, drug-resistant TB, TB/HIV coinfection, TB/diabetes and noncommunicable diseases, post-TB sequelae, biomarkers, genomics, metabolomics, vaccines, pediatric TB, and zoonotic TB. Faculty appointment will be made in the Department of Epidemiology in the Rollins School of Public Health. The Department of Epidemiology consists of 48 primary faculty, 55 jointly appointed faculty, and 84 adjunct faculty.
