Boston University Launches Cluster Hire in the Future of Healthy Aging

Eight faculty positions open across anthropology, biology, business, communications, epidemiology, law, sociology, and surgery.

BU-SHARP is pleased to share that Boston University has launched a major cluster hire search focused on Healthy Aging, spanning eight academic disciplines.

The search builds on BU’s strength in Health Across the Lifespan, an area of significant expertise and opportunity across the University. BU is home to renowned studies of aging, including the Framingham Heart Study and the New England Centenarian Study. It also hosts interdisciplinary research centers focused on the biology of aging (BU-CARES), Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and the demography and economics of population aging, which is the work of BU-SHARP.

The Future of Healthy Aging initiative brings together faculty from across the University to pursue transformative questions about how we age. This includes the biological, cultural, environmental, technological, legal, and social factors that shape healthy aging, as well as the structural factors that prevent some people from aging well. The new hires will contribute fresh ideas, methods, and perspectives, connecting fundamental discovery, population health, and translational research to advance healthier aging across the life course and meet the challenges of an aging global population.
