Assistant or Associate Professor in Pharmacoepidemiology

Assistant or Associate Professor in Pharmacoepidemiology

SDU - University of Southern Denmark

Odense, Denmark

The academic position

The successful candidate will become part of the pharmacoepidemiology group within the department (see more below). As part of the pharmacoepidemiological research group, and as an assistant/associate professor, you will be expected to develop and maintain an area of particular interest within pharmacoepidemiology where you focus your efforts. Identifying this area and adapting it to your particular niche will be part of the position. The group has a very strong infrastructure and internal teaching program and covers multiple areas of pharmacoepidemiology, including method development, hypothesis-generating screening studies, pregnancy outcomes, drug utilization, pediatrics, and cancer. We are equally interested in candidates that are doing work within these areas as well as those that would expand our group into new territory.

The position comes with teaching obligations in particular within the pharmacy program at the University as well as supervision of bachelor projects and master projects. Additionally, we expect that you will contribute to administrative duties related to running the pharmacy education program, e.g., participating in the leadership group within the pharmacy program, being involved in the Study Board or other activities.

Qualifications

The applicant is required to be fluent in English (written and spoken), to hold a PhD degree within epidemiology or a related discipline and to have a track-record within the field of pharmacoepidemiology (in its broadest sense). Further, the candidate should contribute to a positive and constructive working environment by active participation and be open to interdisciplinary work across the width of the department and its collaborators.
