A focus on health disparities or vulnerable populations is desirable.

A doctoral degree in public health, social or behavioral science, or a closely related field is required. Rank and salary will be determined by the candidate’s credentials. For appointment to a tenured position, applicants must demonstrate evidence of a strong track record of funded research and peer-reviewed publications. The starting date for appointments is open to negotiation.
