California, Berkeley School of Public Health invites

the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in Residence.
Anticipated start date of this position is July 1, 2018.
The University of California, Berkeley is one of the world’s
leading research universities, with outstanding research and
graduate level training in numerous disciplines. Our location
on the UC Berkeley campus allows access to leading edge
collaborators in key disciplines, including engineering,
computer science, social sciences, public policy, journalism,
international development, business, law, and beyond. As part
of the UC system, we have access to unequaled capacity and
networks. In particular, our close partnership with UCSF joins
us with a world class medical campus. With 75 years as one of
the nation’s preeminent academic institutions in the field of
public health, on a campus with a public mission, the Berkeley
SPH is in a unique position to lead scholarly, social and
health change and has a reputation for excellence in research,
education, and community engagement. Our 12,000 Berkeley
graduates are transformational health leaders across all
health sectors, with a legacy of impact and innovation
locally, nationally, and globally. The Bay Area is also at the
forefront of innovations related to health delivery as well as
racial, gender, sexuality and other forms of social equity and
justice.
The mission of the MCAH Program is to develop the next
generation of leaders equipped to solve the health challenges
facing women, children, adolescents and families of the 21st
century. MCAH teaching and research at the UC Berkeley School
of Public Health includes graduate level education and
postdoctoral training through the Center of Excellence in MCAH;
the Bixby Center for Population Health and Sustainability; the
Wallace Center for Maternal and Child Health; Innovations for
Youth; MCH training in Public Health Nutrition; and the Center
for Environmental Research and Children’s Health (CERCH).
Faculty and students are responsive to newly emerging issues
in MCAH and to the unique needs of the diverse communities and
cultures of the San Francisco Bay area, State of California,
and the world. Students are inspired to use their skills and
expertise to achieve health equity for all.
Research/Practice: We seek applicants with demonstrated
expertise in one or more of the following fields: social
determinants of health, policy, MCAH practice, migration,
health technology, children & youth with special health care
needs, and consumer/family engagement. Preference will be
given to candidates whose research focuses on MCAH issues and
populations in the domestic US. Particular consideration will
be given to candidates doing cutting edge work in the design,
implementation, evaluation and practice of public health
interventions. The ideal candidate will be able to teach
graduate courses related to program planning, life course
theory, and the fundamentals of MCAH practice and policy.
Additionally, the faculty member will be expected to establish
a portfolio of research supported by extramural funding; teach
graduate courses in the Program and Division; advise Maternal
Child and Adolescent Health MPH students on capstone projects;
serve on the MCAH admissions committee; and provide service to
the department, school, university and the profession. In the
first three years of appointment, 100% of academic year
funding will be provided by the Wallace Center for Maternal
and Child Health in the School. In the fourth year, this
academic year funding will be reduced to 75% support and in
future years, 50% of academic year funding of this position
will be provided by the endowment. The remainder of funding
will need to be covered by extramural funding obtained by the
