xuan.wang@utah.edu .About the Division of Biostatistics
We address important biomedical problems through deep collaborations with researchers at the University of Utah and beyond. We have deep connections with the Division of Epidemiology within the Department of Internal Medicine, the Division of Pediatric Critical Care within the Department of Pediatrics, the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Veterans Administration, and Intermountain Healthcare.We conduct statistical methodological research that is motivated by the problems we encounter during our collaborations. We have an internationally diverse PhD student body, who receive training both in the classroom and through mentored collaboration. We are surrounded by large databases that can be used to address important scientific questions.For example:The Utah Population Database (UPBD) is the world’s largest resource for tracking diseases in families, with more than 11 million people in large, multigenerational pedigrees, linked to tens of millions of medically relevant records.The Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) contains data extracted from many of the institution’s disparate source systems, including patient, visit, clinical, operational, financial, and research data. It contains data on more than 2.5 million patients.The Veterans Administration (VA) Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) provides researchers with access to all VA electronic health data and additional unique data sets, covering over 9 million Veterans, and high-powered cloud computing infrastructure and tools.About the PHS Department
The Department of Population Health Sciences is a hub for education, investigation and methodological expertise in population health. Through a diverse faculty in three Divisions (Cancer Population Sciences, Biostatistics, and Health Services Innovation & Research), we provide expertise and infrastructure to advance capacity for impact-driven research, and support clinical professionals in providing better patient and population-oriented care in an increasingly complex healthcare delivery system. Through our research, education, and community engagement activities, we promote patient-centered healthcare and the delivery of evidence-based health innovations that improve population health and reduce health disparities within our community. Through high impact research, we strive to contribute to a world where all individuals—regardless of socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation—have the opportunity to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health. The department is highly interdisciplinary, collaborative, and innovative.
The Department of Population Health Sciences is strongly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of our mission: research, education, and service. We have an active
diversity/equity/inclusion
committee, and policies to ensure diversity of leadership roles and inclusion of all members of our department.
The University of Utah values candidates who have experience working in settings with students and patients from all backgrounds and possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education and quality healthcare for historically underrepresented students and patients.All qualified individuals are strongly encouraged to apply. Veterans’ preference is extended to qualified applicants, upon request and consistent with University policy and Utah state law. Upon request, reasonable accommodations in the application process will be provided to individuals with disabilities.The University of Utah is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and does not discriminate based upon race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy-related conditions, genetic information, or protected veteran’s status.
