The Founding Director will work with faculty in the College of
Health Sciences to plan and implement a MPH degree in
Epidemiology and to interface with other colleges within the
University in developing joint MPH programs. Responsibilities
will include leadership in hiring and supervision of program
faculty, curricular development and assessment, and student
recruitment. We envision that the MPH program will develop
into a new academic department within the College over a
five-year period. The successful candidate will have
experience working in an existing MPH program at the rank of
associate or full professor and have an active research
program, as well as successful teaching experience, with some
online teaching experience preferred. A DrPH or PhD in public
health or a PhD in a related field with a MPH is required. The
position reports to the Dean of the College of Health
Sciences. All faculty are expected to contribute to a
welcoming campus environment that embraces diversity.
Ranked fifth, nationally, among the best places to study the
health professions by College Factual, the College of Health
Sciences is a thriving academic unit of over 3,000
undergraduate and graduate students and 130 faculty with
outstanding research and teaching facilities. The College has
recently opened an exciting new 100,000 sq. ft. clinical
research facility (pictured above) and will occupy 7 floors in
a 10-story tower under construction. The College also includes
the departments of (delete your own department) Behavioral
Health and Nutrition, Kinesiology and Applied Physiology,
Communication Sciences and Disorders, Medical Laboratory
Sciences, Physical Therapy, and the School of Nursing. With
annual research expenditures of approximately $26 million, the
college currently houses a number of large, interdisciplinary
grants with significant funding from the NIH and DoD. The
college boasts strong research teams in the areas of
cardiovascular health, neurological disorders, and other
chronic disease conditions, as well as rehabilitation science
and concussion. There are also numerous collaborative linkages
with our clinical partners.
