Faculty Profile
John Rice, PhD
- Research Assistant Professor, Biostatistics
Dr. John Rice is a research assistant professor in the Department of Biostatistics in the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He received his MSPH in Biostatistics from Emory University in 2010, and his PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan in 2015, where his dissertation focused on statistical methods for cancer research. He completed postdoctoral training at the University of Rochester in 2017, where he worked in the areas of HIV testing behavior and cardiovascular outcomes, prior to joining the faculty at the Department of Biostatistics and Informatics in the Colorado School of Public Health as an assistant professor in 2018.

John Rice develops statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal and recurrent event
data, with emphasis on semiparametric regression, renewal process models, and time-to-event
outcomes subject to incomplete or irregular observation. His methodological work includes
estimation and inference for latent event processes using binary or sparse data, modeling
of gap times and inter-event dependence, and semiparametric approaches for zero-inflated
and semicontinuous outcomes.
He also works on statistical methods for stepped-wedge and cluster-randomized trials,
particularly in settings where outcome processes are only partially observed or available
in aggregated form. Motivated by applications in cancer research, critical care, and
public health, his work bridges methodological development with collaborative implementation
across diverse clinical domains.
Dr. Rice’s research has been recognized by the International Biometric Society and
appears in both statistical and applied journals. He serves as a statistical collaborator
on multiple federally funded studies, including NIH- and DoD-supported trials.
