The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics invite applications for Assistant Professor in bioethics and public health. This tenure-track faculty member will have his or her academic appointment in any relevant department of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, including Health Policy and Management, International Health, Population Family and Reproductive Health, Epidemiology, Health Behavior and Society, Mental Health, and Environmental Health Sciences. This new faculty member also will be a core faculty member of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics.

Applicants must hold a PhD, JD, MD, or equivalent. Applicants should: (1) have a solid background in bioethics; (2) have strong commitments to public/population health; (3) exhibit potential for a distinguished record of scholarship in bioethics and public health; (4) show promise for excellence in teaching; (5) show promise for ability to secure external funding; (6) show potential for collaborative and interdisciplinary work. Scholars from a variety of disciplines, including medicine, nursing, the social sciences, public health, law, philosophy, and economics are eligible to apply. Applicants with strong training in empirical (quantitative and/or qualitative) social science research are particularly encouraged to apply, as are those who already have an active portfolio of funded research. The successful applicant will be mentored to develop an increasingly independent portfolio of scholarship and funding in bioethics and public health. This new faculty member will join other bioethics/public health faculty teaching and advising students in the PhD program in bioethics and public health/health policy.

The successful applicant will join thriving communities of scholars both within the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is the#1 ranked school of public health, according to U.S. News and World Report, and is the largest school of public health in the country with particular strengths in global health, health policy, health behavior, and the qualitative and quantitative sciences. The Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics is one of the largest bioethics programs in the world and includes scholars with backgrounds in public health, philosophy, medicine, nursing, social science, biomedical science, and law, with active portfolios of scholarship, teaching, and service in clinical ethics, ethics and science, research ethics and global bioethics, as well as ethics and public health and healthy policy. Faculty of the Berman Institute have appointments in four schools of the University–arts and sciences, medicine, public health, and nursing.
