Position Description

The Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health seeks candidates to fill a non-tenure track faculty position at the Lecturer level with an initial three-year term of appointment. The Lecturer will devote their primary efforts to the educational mission of the School.

The successful candidate will bring a demonstrated record of scholarly excellence, meaningful experience in teaching and student mentorship, and ideally some background in academic program administration. Primary responsibilities include teaching multiple core and elective courses in biostatistics, health data science, and/or statistical genetics and genomics. The Lecturer will develop and continuously update course materials to reflect evolving methods and best practices, play an active role in coordinating instruction across the Department of Biostatistics master's programs, and contribute to educational program administration including curriculum planning and pedagogical innovation.

A significant component of this role involves student advising: guiding master's students through course selection, academic progress, and capstone or thesis work. Together, these responsibilities advance the Department's mission to train the next generation of quantitative scientists and support the School's broader commitment to preparing leaders who can bring rigorous, data-driven thinking to the most pressing challenges in public health.
