Department Description

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (DEB), housed within the UCSF School of Medicine, is the largest department of epidemiology in the University of California system. The DEB is the epicenter of many of UCSF's initiatives in population health, data science and informatics, health service research, health equity and artificial intelligence. The DEB has three missions: 1) education, 2) science, and 3) research. Its educational mission is to train students in epidemiologic and biostatistical methods for studying disease etiology and prevention, evaluating tests and treatments, and using evidence-based approaches in clinical practice and population health. The scientific mission of the DEB is to perform outstanding basic, clinical and population health research along a spectrum from molecules to society and to develop tools for the translation of knowledge that will improve clinical practice and population health and ensure optimal use of resources. The clinical mission of the Department is to support the practice of public health and preventive medicine in local, state, national and international health agencies.

This position would be under the leadership of Dr. Jacqueline Torres, Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, and serve as core part of a large research network led by Dr. Torres and colleagues across multiple academic institutions. This work is largely supported by a National Institute on Aging-funded project, Triangulation of Innovative Methods to End Alzheimer's Disease (TIME-AD), a large, multi-institution effort to improve the evidence base on modifiable risk factors to reduce the burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. This effort encompasses multiple research projects that are working to achieve ambitious goals with an extensive team of co-Investigators, staff, and trainees (e.g. PhD students and postdoctoral fellows). Additional projects under Dr. Torres' purview include multiple other initiatives that support research and training in the field of social determinants of health, policy evaluation, and healthy aging.
