The substantive sub-area of focus is open and could include the impacts of payment and delivery system reform, insurance design, the use of social science and data science methods to target resources or prevent disease in underserved populations, and novel quantitative approaches to examine the health impacts of economic shocks, disasters, and/or policy changes. The type of quantitative methods and data expertise are also open, and may include use of computational, econometric, demographic, statistical, and/or decision science methods to analyze electronic health record, health care claims, and population-level data.

We welcome applicants from a broad set of quantitative fields such as health services research, health policy, public policy, economics, political science, sociology, and related disciplines. Faculty are expected to teach courses at the doctoral, masters, and/or undergraduate levels.

The UC Berkeley School of Public Health recognizes the intrinsic relationship between diversity and excellence in all our endeavors.
