As part of a bold new initiative to transform public health, the newly established School of Technology for Public Health (STPH) at Arizona State University (ASU) is seeking applicants at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor on the Tenure Track in the thematic areas of mental health, substance use, women’s health, children’s health, cardiometabolic disorders, infectious diseases, injury prevention, and indigenous health. We are particularly interested in applicants with a demonstrated track‑record of conducting cutting‑edge foundational and applied research drawing from the fields of artificial intelligence, health informatics, digital health, systems engineering, geospatial modeling, computational epidemiology, statistical decision making, and implementation science. In addition, applicants with a demonstrated track‑record of administrative leadership will be considered for leadership positions at STPH. About The School The STPH is establishing a new field to reimagine public health infrastructure in the 21st century, and create more integrative, responsive, and resilient systems to protect the health of people in Arizona and beyond. Designed in collaboration with national leaders and informed by listening sessions with local communities and health departments, the school is the first‑of‑its‑kind in the nation to train students to be bilingual in public health and technology. By teaching students to be “techno‑fluent,” the school serves as a catalyst to build and deploy the products, programs and systems needed to sculpt the future of public health in this decade and beyond. About ASU Health Arizona State University is accelerating its health‑related efforts to tackle the state’s urgent health care needs, now and into the future. ASU is launching a new medical school, creating a school for public health technology, launching a "health observatory," developing the health care workforce, and more. The charge is to address significant and growing health care needs and help improve health outcomes for families across Arizona. ASU Health will transform how health care is designed, delivered and measured while also producing new physicians, nurses, specialists, technologists, scientists — all the groups that need to be focused every day on Arizona’s health. About Arizona State University Arizona State University, ranked the No. 1 "Most Innovative School" in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for nine years in succession, has forged the model for a New American University. Year after year, ASU ranks at or near the top of the list in areas that matter. ASU is a comprehensive public research institution, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves. ASU operates on the principles that learning is a personal and original journey for each student; that they thrive on experience and that the process of discovery cannot be bound by traditional academic disciplines.
