The UTHealth
School of Public Health (UTSPH)
Dallas campus
is expanding a multidisciplinary research program in the
social determinants of health, and the integration of
epidemiologic, sociological, economic, and other analytic
sciences, in the study of health services and health
promotion. We invite applications for multiple tenure-track
positions at the Assistant and Associate professor ranks.
Competitive salary and start-up resources are available. The
positions will report to the dean of the Dallas campus, and
the department chairs of
Epidemiology, Human Genetics, and Environmental
Sciences
or
Health Promotion-Behavioral Sciences.
The UTSPH is
composed
of six campuses located across Texas: Austin, Brownsville,
Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio with a combined 165
faculty and 1,200 graduate students at the masters’ and
doctoral levels. An MD-MPH degree program is offered to
students at the Dallas campus, and all the other campuses,
making UTSPH the largest provider of this educational
opportunity in the country. Existing collaborations in Dallas
have advanced research programs to improve health outcomes in
vulnerable populations in cancer prevention and control,
cancer survivorship, tobacco prevention and cessation,
violence/injury prevention, and overall child and adolescent
health. The campus has strong ties with partner institutions
in Dallas such as:
·
University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical
Center
·
Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center
·
Parkland Health & Hospital System
·
Dallas Children’s Medical Center
·
University of Texas at Dallas
·
Dallas Police Department
Primary
responsibilities will include conducting externally funded
research, teaching graduate-level epidemiology courses, and
developing collaborations across campuses, departments, and
communities. Ideal candidates will have a broad understanding
and interest in
multidisciplinary team science studies of how social
factors, financing systems, organizational structures and
processes, health technologies, and personal behaviors affect
access to health care,
the quality and cost of health care, and ultimately our
health and well-being.
Specifically,
we are interested in: candidates with: (1) an earned doctoral
degree in epidemiology, health promotion-behavioral science,
or related disciplines in research design, qualitative, or
quantitative methods; (2) graduate level teaching experience
in epidemiology or health promotion-behavioral science; (3)
research emphasis in epidemiology or health promotion with
focus on individuals, families, organizations, institutions,
communities, and populations; and (4) a track record of
research publications commensurate with academic rank and
demonstrating potential for securing external funding.
