The Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia (www.emory.edu) seeks scholars for tenured or tenure track faculty appointments at the academic rank of assistant or early associate professor. Assistant professor-level candidates for tenure-track positions must demonstrate the potential to become independent investigators and graduate-level teachers. Associate professor-level candidates should have a strong record of scholarship with experience as a principal investigator for funded research studies (e.g., NIH, CDC) and interest and skills in teaching. Priority areas of study for these positions are Mental Health/Substance Use, especially alcohol use and/or depression, and Chronic Disease Prevention and Management. We are seeking candidates from relevant fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology or social and behavioral science programs in public health.

Research interests of the current faculty include alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use, depression, cancer prevention, physical activity, obesity, tobacco control and prevention, and sexual risk reduction and HIV. The Department offers M.P .H. and Ph.D. degrees.
