Recruitment

Associate or Full Professor of Behavioral Science, Department of Public Health Sciences

The University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences invites applications for a faculty position at the Associate or Full Professor level with expertise in cancer prevention behavioral science.

Successful candidates are expected to establish an independent, extramurally funded research program on the discovery, development, testing, implementation and evaluation of interventions in cancer prevention and control. This can include a track record of conducting impactful research to promote healthy lifestyles, help people modify their health behavior to prevent and reduce cancer incidence, mortality and morbidity. The successful candidate is also expected to lead and develop methods for investigating cancer-relevant prevention behaviors in populations and in sub-groups at risk for developing specific cancers.

Research approaches may include mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative research) to better understand how health behavior leads to the development of cancer and impacts cancer survivorship including health-related quality of life, as well as identifying viable targets for cancer prevention through behavioral and health education interventions.
