This Assistant Professor of Teaching will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the Biostatistics group, advise and mentor graduate students, engage in Public Health program, with primary responsibility in the scholarly/research work, and provide service to the Program, School, College and University in the form of committee work and participation in faculty meetings.

The incumbent must utilize good decision-making skills in the three areas of a professor of teaching appointment (teaching, research/scholarship, and service).
