PENN STATE Making Life Better
Professor of Global Environmental Health
Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences and the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) have an opening for a tenured associate or full professor of global environmental health. The Nicholas School, with an interdisciplinary faculty of 75, offers professional (Master of Environmental Management) and graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.) degrees and directs Duke's undergraduate environmental programs. DGHI undertakes and coordinates global health educational, research, and policy related programs involving many disciplines throughout the university, including the medical center.
The candidate must have a M.D. or a Ph.D. in a relevant field, which we interpret broadly. Relevant subjects include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, toxicology, public policy, and public health, as well as environmental issues as they relate to health outcomes – for example, the relationship between climate change and disease vector distribution. Knowledge of qualitative and quantitative methods integral to population-based science and human health/ecosystem health interconnections are preferred. Broad understanding of the global environmental health field and experience undertaking environmental health research in a developing country setting are essential.
The successful applicant is expected to lead the multi-disciplinary Global Environmental Health signature research initiative at DGHI (http://globalhealth.duke.edu/). He/she should have a nationally recognized, externally funded research program and relevant experience with the administrative components of research programs, and will be expected to contribute to relevant teaching programs.

Postdoctoral Position to work on Longitudinal Study of Exposure Related Behaviors
UC Davis is conducting an ongoing US EPA funded project to collect longitudinal data on exposure related behaviors. Data is being collected on time activity patterns, food consumption, and consumer product use. There are three data collection platforms, consisting of three annual phone interviews, 18 months of monthly web surveys, and 4 seasonal home visits. Participants are either families with young children or older adults. Participants participate in either one or two of the various platforms.
We are looking for a candidate who would work closely with faculty on data analysis, paper writing, and report preparation. We will have a significant amount of data resulting from this project and thus this individual will be able to be involved in or lead efforts on several papers in a relatively short time period. As this project is on-going, data is presently available for analysis.
The position would last for two years and would be based at UC Davis in the Department of Public Health Sciences. UC Davis is expanding its presence in the exposure science arena. To learn more about the exciting projects going on in exposure science at UC Davis, please visit http://exposurescience.ucdavis.edu. UC Davis is also in the process of trying to develop a School of Public Health. If this effort is successful, there will be significant growth in public health activity at UC Davis. To learn more about this effort, please visit http://sph.ucdavis.edu.
The ideal candidate would have or be obtaining a PhD in some aspect of Environmental Health or related field, preferably having worked on a project involving Exposure Science. The target start date for the position is, at the latest, June 2008.
For questions about the position, please contact Prof. Deborah Bennett (dhbennett@ucdavis.edu) or Prof. Irva Hertz-Picciotto (ihp@ucdavis.edu). To apply, please forward your C.V. to Nyla Logsden-Sackett, Project Manager, at nlogsdensackett@ucdavis.edu.
