NEW YORK UNIVERSITY


The Public Health Program in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at NYU is seeking applicants for a new tenured/tenure-track faculty position in Public Health at the Associate Professor rank. The program in public health is characterized by a widely-shared interest in community health interventions and their evaluation. The Steinhardt School provides undergraduate and graduate education in the areas of culture, education and human development, and includes several departments focused on health and health services. Faculty research, both domestic and international, focuses on such interventions as they pertain to HIV, obesity, risk behavior, maternal and child health, primary care delivery, health disparities, injury prevention and control, urban and environmental health. These areas of study afford many opportunities for collaboration among the Steinhardt faculty and with other faculty members at NYU and we seek candidates with qualifications and experience that bridge programs in within the Department and/or School.


Qualifications: Candidates should have a doctoral degree in public health (or a doctoral degree in a social science along with an MPH), leadership experience, a strong commitment to teaching, research, mentoring students at the graduate and undergraduate levels, an active portfolio of externally-funded research, and a productive record of peer-reviewed publications.


Responsibilities: The successful candidate will assume a leadership role in the growing MPH, undergraduate, and doctoral programs in the Department, teach, mentor, and advise undergraduate and graduate students, and provide service to the university and the community. The candidate will be able to participate in NYU's University-wide Global Program in Public Health. For more information see here www.nyu.edu/mph.


NYU's dynamic Global Network University includes NYU Abu Dhabi and international programs and academic centers around the world. NYU Steinhardt faculty may be afforded the opportunity for variable term work at these global study and research sites.
