CHS seeks to reimagine precision health by engaging scholars and communities to integrate biological, behavioral, environmental, and socio-cultural influences for personalized and equitable health solutions. Advancing the field of precision health will require targeted prevention programs and disease treatment interventions that leverage the collective expertise of scientists in data informatics, research methodology, community-based research, systems biology, bioinformatics, social determinants of health, lifestyle behavior change, and dissemination and implementation science. For this position, we are looking for scholars with methodological expertise in adaptive intervention designs, including adaptive designs (MOST, SMART, micro-randomized trials), just-in-time adaptive interventions and other digital health designs, and machine learning, system identification, or control systems approaches to behavior change.

Applications from established researchers at all levels are welcome. Responsibilities for this position include developing and maintaining a successful research program, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, mentoring students and junior faculty, and providing service to the program and university as well as to the community and profession. The ideal candidate will present evidence of a successful research trajectory commensurate with the appropriate rank (Assistant, Associate, Full Professor) including a record of sustained extramural funding and peer-reviewed publications, and a strong commitment to high quality teaching and mentoring.

At ASU and the College of Health Solutions, they work to maximize opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds, abilities and perspectives. They value and encourage cultural and intellectual diversity, and strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for all faculty, staff and students — which they believe is critical to our success as a community. All individuals who can strengthen the diversity of our academic community are encouraged to apply, and will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.

About the College of Health Solutions

The College of Health Solutions is committed to translating scientific health research and discovery into practice to improve health outcomes through education, research and service. They equip students with the knowledge and skills to influence healthier lifestyle choices; develop creative interventions to improve the health of people and populations; analyze and translate large amounts of health data into solutions; and maximize the technology, science, business and application of diagnostics.

Through teaching, academic programs, service and research, all faculty at the College of Health Solutions address one or more of our three major areas of focus: 1) The systems of health care and the health needs of populations; 2) Health and human performance of individuals across the lifespan; 3) Personalized interventions through precision health. Across these areas, they work to address complex and difficult health problems which require transformative collaboration, translational research and innovation. They are particularly interested in making an impact on populations with significant health disparities.

Our research programs encompass basic science, discovery science, clinical trials, intervention science and measurement of health outcomes. In all cases, our faculty use interdisciplinary approaches to address the complex systems that underpin health problems. They are highly collaborative, transparent and team-oriented. Our innovative organizational structure includes translational teams that move science from labs into communities with evidence-based interventions that make a difference, as well as affinity networks where teams of people work together to improve methodologies and processes. All of our programs, in and out of the classroom, are designed with the goal of improving the health of people and communities.

Current training programs include behavioral health, biomedical diagnostics, biomedical informatics, exercise science, health promotion, health sciences, kinesiology, medical studies, nutrition, population health, the science of health care delivery, and speech and hearing science. Our programs are offered at the ASU Downtown Phoenix, Tempe, Polytechnic, West and Lake Havasu campuses, as well as on Mayo Clinic’s campus in north Phoenix.
