Assistant professorship in clinical epidemiology
The medical faculty of the University of Basel has created a new position for an assistant professorship in clinical epidemiology. The expanding Institute of clinical epidemiology is part of the Department of Internal Medicine and was founded in 2001. The Institute has a research focus in infectious diseases, primary care (infectious diseases and preventive cardiology) and health services research. Due to the close integration into clinical medicine, the Institute provides exciting opportunities for clinical research and development of local networks. Because of the increasing need for research and teaching assistance, the Institute urgently needs to increase its capacity.
This 5-year full time appointment provides an excellent career opportunity for a clinical epidemiologist who is interested in developing his or her own research activities within the research focus of the Institute. The ideal candidate should have a MD degree and a solid training in clinical epidemiology with a MSc or PhD degree. The candidate is expected to have excellent personal and communication skills and be devoted to fostering the Institute and to building up local and international networks. Fluency in German is not a prerequisite, but applicants should understand German and should be motivated to improve their German language skills. The University Hospital Basel is an equal opportunity career provider. A full description of the position and the requirements are available on the web (www.bice.ch/engl/employment_opportunities.htm). Closing date for applications: August 30, 2004.
