Further information on the AHN cluster can be found at: https://asi.syr.edu/aging-health-and-neuroscience-cluster/.

For this position, we are seeking a scholar with a research agenda concerned with global population health, including trends, inequalities, drivers, and consequences of global population health outcomes. Specific topics of interest could include the social and economic consequences of global population aging, rising global burden of chronic disease, causes and consequences of infectious disease spread, food systems and sustainability, impacts of climate change and/or natural disasters on health, and/or the impacts of global economic, social, or/and political changes on health.

Course offerings might include: Global Population Health, Population Processes, Quantitative Methods, Statistics, Population and Environment, and Environment and Health. Preference will be given to candidates who can contribute to other strengths in the sociology department (please visit https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/soc/Faculty_Research_Areas/) and to Maxwell School-wide priorities.
