The Yale Schools of Public Health (YSPH),
Nursing (YSN), and Medicine (YSM) are jointly seeking a
Professor and Director for the development of the new Yale
Institute for Global Health (YIGH). This inaugural leadership
position will have responsibility for leveraging and growing
global health initiatives and programs at Yale and outside the
university, by building strong collaborative relationships
among individuals, programs, and organizations.
With the primary goal to catalyze research from schools,
departments, and programs throughout Yale and its global
partners, YIGH will be comprised of affiliated faculty and
staff from diverse disciplines to confront global health
issues with a multidisciplinary approach. The Director will
strive to bring together researchers, practitioners, and
policymakers from the campus and around the world to encourage
collaboration for impact. Responsibilities include:
-
Establish and strengthen global health partnerships among
faculty and programs at the health professional schools and
throughout the university, as well as with national and
international colleagues, and entities engaged in global
health activities.
-
Develop programs to assist early career faculty to compete
for external support for global health projects.
-
Identify opportunities (grant, foundation, donor) that would
support YIGH research and overall mission; regularly submit
proposals to national and international funding bodies and
other donors; foster the submission of grant proposals by
faculty and others; and conduct extramurally funded research
in global health.
-
Disseminate the impact of YIGH to the Yale community and to
individuals and entities outside the university.
YSPH, YSN, and YSM are leaders in the
University’s commitment to improve health across the globe
through research, education, and community engagement. The
health science schools conduct research, promulgate capacity
building, and provide meaningful training to foster health,
promote innovation, educate leaders, and make a sustainable
difference in the world. Faculty research spans a variety of
fields including: noncommunicable and infectious diseases,
implementation science, environmental health, behavioral
determinants of health, reproductive and sexual health,
management and capacity building, humanitarian response and
refugee health, and policy and administration.
Disparities in global health are confronted
through research, education, and health services in
partnership with institutions serving resource-limited
communities in the US and around the world. Global health
oriented faculty collaborate with colleagues across the
University and have created several interdisciplinary centers
at the University, including:
Yale faculty
