Several Postdoctoral Associate positions are available in the School of Public Health and Health Professions as part of our Pathways to the Professoriate Program. The purpose of the program is to help diversify the public health professoriate; to attract and retain academics scholars who are underrepresented to join the tenure track faculty in the School. The postdoctoral associate(s) will be provided with access to mentoring, research collaborations and data as they build their research programs in preparation for a tenure track position at ours or another research-intensive university.

-
- food access and nutritional insecurity, including the impacts of food scarcity on eating behavior;
- addictions, especially tobacco control;
