We seek an active scholar in the area(s) of applied health services research, social and behavioral epidemiology, digital health technologies, or other analytic inquiry into healthcare delivery and outcomes. We particularly welcome scholars who employ data-driven, system-science approaches to examine and improve the quality of healthcare at the individual, community, or societal levels. Specific research areas are open, but those who examine health disparities, including how they manifest in healthcare data and analytics practices, are especially encouraged to apply.

As guided by our Academic Affairs Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Strategic Plan, Bentley University seeks to enhance our faculty capacity in the scholarship, pedagogy, and engagement related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

We seek a collaborative colleague who enjoys connecting with students outside the classroom through guiding our majors and minors, attending lectures and events, and supervising group and individual student projects.
