Position description
Department of Public Health Sciences
Director, Center for Occupational and Environmental Health
The University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Department
of Public Health Sciences invites applications for a faculty
position at the Associate Professor or Full Professor level for a
leader with expertise in occupational or environmental health
sciences, a distinguished record of research accomplishments
evidenced by extramural funding and peer-reviewed publications,
demonstrated multidisciplinary team science leadership, and
experience in graduate-level teaching and mentoring of students,
other trainees, and junior faculty.
This is a full-time, state-supported, tenure track appointment. A
doctoral degree (e.g., PhD or DrPH and/or M.D. with M.P.H) in a
relevant field is required. The candidate must have a record of
progressive successful academic and administrative leadership and a
strong research focus on population-based occupational or
environmental health science.
The mission of the Department of Public Health Sciences is to
improve the health of people through population-based approaches by
developing and evaluating educational programs, conducting
epidemiologic research, engaging in public service, and developing
policy and other translational outcomes.
The Department covers a broad area of public health disciplines
including epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental and occupation
health, health services and health policy research, health
promotion and disease prevention and a wide set of health outcomes
including cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, aging, reproductive
health, women's, children's, rural, immigrant, minority and
international health, and biomedical ethical issues.
The Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH) is part
of a multi-campus consortium. It serves government, industry,
schools, health professionals, labor and the general public through
programs and partnerships designed to deepen understanding of
occupational and environmental hazards and to prevent disease,
injuries, and mortality from exposures in the workplace and the
environment. Activities are grounded in multidisciplinary programs
in public health, medicine, nursing, epidemiology, exposure
science, engineering, and related fields, which serve to educate
future leaders in occupational and environmental health, develop
new knowledge and bring the resources of the University of
California to benefit the public.
Among other responsibilities, the faculty member hired for this
position will be expected to:
* Assume directorship of the Davis COEH, administer budgets, and
collaborate closely with the other COEH units at UC Berkeley and
UCSF in joint efforts, including continuing education programs and
other activities;
* Maintain a leadership role in conducting research, identifying
and obtaining extramural funding from contracts and grants
including federal agencies such as NIH, EPA, CDC (NIOSH), and
California state agencies, and fostering the development of an
emphasis in focused areas of occupational and environmental
health;
* Develop curriculum and teach courses in occupational and
environmental health and epidemiology, and mentor graduate students
and trainees in public health, epidemiology, environmental and
occupational health, and related fields;
* Participate in service activities including committee
appointments, public or community service and play a leading role
in outreach efforts with the California Department of Public
Health, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the
California Air Resources Board, and other state and local health
and/or environmental agencies;
* Oversee the operations and strategic planning for occupational
and environmental programs such as the Department of Public Health
Science's Medical Surveillance Program and others;
* Work cooperatively and collegially and promote diversity, equity,
inclusion and anti-racism within the field of environmental and
occupational health.

The University of California is committed to creating and
maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application,
and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through
academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in
University programs and activities can work and learn together in a
safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment,
discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this
commitment, UC Davis conducts a reference check on all first choice
candidates for Academic Senate positions eligible for tenure or
security of employment. The reference check involves contacting the
administration of the applicant's previous institution(s) to ask
whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that
would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To
implement this process, UC Davis requires all applicants for any
open search for associate/full professor to complete, sign, and
upload the form entitled "Authorization to Release Information"
into RECRUIT as part of their application. If an applicant does not
include the signed authorization with the application materials,
the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any
incomplete application, will not receive further consideration.
Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the
entire application, only finalists considered for positions with
tenure or security of employment will be subject to reference
checks.
