Applying an innovative multidisciplinary approach, VIDD houses three formal research programs that systematically pursue explicit goals aimed at eliminating the burden of death and disease from infection. These programs include Biostatistics, Bioinformatics and Epidemiology; Immunology and Vaccine Development; and Infectious Disease Sciences. Historically, BBE biostatistics faculty have carried out integrated research programs that both (1) provide statistical science leadership for landmark infectious disease prevention studies such as vaccine efficacy trials, HIV prevention efficacy trials, and vaccine-related epidemiological studies, and (2) develop innovative statistical methods that improve the science for these studies. Much of this research is conducted through networks or consortia including the HIV Vaccine Trials Network, the HIV Prevention Trials Network, and the Center for Inference and Dynamics of Infectious Diseases. Over the past two years, BBE biostatistics faculty have led the Statistical Center for the Coronavirus Prevention Network, with several landmark COVID-19 clinical trials being launched and now yielding fertile data sets and open questions for interrogation from new biostatistics faculty.

Fred Hutch’s biostatistics, computational biology, dynamical modeling, virology and immunology communities are highly collaborative, supportive, and collegial, operating within a vibrant Seattle scientific community. Excellent collaborative opportunities exist for joint and/or affiliate appointments in Fred Hutch Divisions of Clinical Research, Basic Sciences, Human Biology or Public Health Sciences, as well as at the University of Washington, depending on mutual interests.

At Fred Hutch, we believe that the innovation, collaboration, and rigor that result from diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission of eliminating cancer and infectious diseases. We seek faculty who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems. Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an antiracist organization. We are committed to ensuring that all faculty hired share our commitment to diversity, antiracism, and inclusion.
