The successful candidate will have the opportunity work to with an outstanding mathematical modeling group at YSPH, as well with faculty across Yale, including at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies; the School of Engineering and Applied Science; the Departments of Geology and Geophysics, Economics, and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology; the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies; and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.

Candidates should have a doctoral degree and a strong record of research accomplishments. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an independent research program, mentor MPH and PhD students, and teach at least one course at the masters/doctoral level.
