Chair, Department of Social and Behavioral Health
The University of Kansas Medical Center is developing
a dynamic, multidisciplinary program in Public Health. As
part of this process, we are recruiting a Chair for a new
Department of Social and Behavioral Health. Current
faculty within this department have funded research
programs in cancer prevention, obesity, and smoking
cessation. The Department has strong linkages to the
other public health-related departments, the Kansas
Cancer Institute, the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and
Allied Health, as well as graduate research programs at
the University of Kansas. The Department is home to a
nationally-recognized Master of Public Health program.
Faculty are intimately involved in teaching in our School of
Medicine.
Candidates must be eligible for appointment at either
the Professor or Associate Professor level with a doctoral
degree and expertise in social/behavioral sciences such as
health communication, health education, psychology, or
nutrition. Experience with extramurally funded research,
publications, and teaching is essential. The chair must be
prepared to lead and expand the research and education
programs in the Department and work collaboratively with
community partners and other University programs to
enhance the vision and mission of public health in Kansas.
Review of applications and nominations will begin
immediately and will continue until a suitable candidate
is found. Send a cover letter with a summary of research
interests and past work, CV, and three letters of reference
to:
