social science fields and strong quantitative and writing skills.

urban health and health inequalities under the supervision of Ana V. Diez
Roux, Professor of Epidemiology and Dean. Candidates with also have the
opportunity to collaborate with other faculty at the Dornsife School as

multilevel and spatial analyses as well as longitudinal analyses is
desirable. We are also seeking candidates with experience developing
systems models such as agent-based models.

The Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel University is the only
CEPH-accredited School of Public Health in the Philadelphia area, and
recently received a $45 million gift to expand the faculty and build new
research and educational programs. With the arrival of Dean Ana Diez Roux
in 2014, the School has entered a period of growth. Important themes of the
School include improving health in cities, eliminating health disparities,
and promoting health in all policies. The School offers ample opportunities
for interdisciplinary research and training in population health generally,
including a new Urban Health Collaborative aimed at promoting research,
training, and policy to improve health in cities both locally and globally.
