ABSTRACT: Career pathways for collaborative biostatisticians, where the primary focus is
collaborative research, have been established in many biostatistics departments and
research organizations in the last decade or so. Comparable career pathways for teaching
biostatisticians, where the primary focus is teaching and teaching-related research, are
much rarer, although they are becoming more common in statistics departments. These
positions go by a variety of names including Teaching Professor, Professor of the
Practice, or Clinical Professor. In this webinar a panel of faculty in teaching-focused
positions in biostatistics will discuss the opportunities and challenges for such
positions. We will discuss how common teaching-focused positions are; the typical position
responsibilities, advancement opportunities, and evaluation metrics; the value of these
positions for their institutions; and the barriers to their implementation. This webinar
will interest biostatisticians currently in or considering teaching-focused positions, PhD
students and postdocs curious about these types of positions, as well as department heads
thinking about how such positions could be structured.
