The Department requires a Chairperson to lead and facilitate all aspects of the Department's operations. The successful candidate must have an earned doctorate in a Public Health discipline or closely related area (may include but not limited to Community Health, Epidemiology, Health Promotion, Health Behavior, Health Communications, Environmental Health, Global Health, Public Health Nutrition, Behavioral Health, Maternal and Child Health) and be eligible for appointment as Professor with tenure. A successful candidate should have a record of effective undergraduate and graduate teaching, as well as a record of extensive scholarship and grantsmanship. Communication, interpersonal, and change management skills and experience using data to effectively develop, implement, and improve programs and initiatives in a visible and dynamic department are essential. This individual will contribute strong relationship-building and creative problem-solving skills to advance the College and University Strategic Plans, contribute to the Department's mission and initiatives, promote interdisciplinary collaboration and community partnerships, and engage institutional and community partners. Prior administrative or academic leadership experience is preferred, particularly with accreditation through the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
Preferred Education Skills and Experience:
We particularly invite applications from candidates with administrative experience as a department chair and/or director of an accredited program in public health. A Master of Public Health (MPH) degree is preferred.
