SPH Researcher Earns Peter Paul Professorship.

Jacob Bor, an assistant professor of global health, is one of three young BU scholars who have earned this year’s Peter Paul Career Development Professorships, which award winners an annual stipend of $40,000 for three years to pursue their research interests.

Bor, who came to BU in September 2013, will use the award to continue his work in applying the tools of microeconomic models and natural experiments to the study of population health, with a focus on HIV treatment and prevention in southern Africa. He plans to recruit more doctoral students and research assistants to tackle papers he wants to write, he said.

The other two awardees are: Ernest Gonzales, a School of Social Work assistant professor of human behavior, and Rachel Flynn, a School of Medicine assistant professor of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics.
