FULL TIME FACULTY POSITION, Department of Health Law, Policy and Management, School of Public Health

Tracking Code2044/I1418 Job Description

The Department of Health Law, Policy & Management (HLPM) in the Boston University School of Public Health invites applications for two or more new full time faculty positions. The growing department is dedicated to research and education that focuses on improving access, quality and value in healthcare to vulnerable populations, in line with the mission of the School of Public Health, the Medical School, and the adjacent Boston Medical Center, a safety-net hospital. The department is also affiliated with a health services research center of excellence and an evidence-based policy resource center embedded in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. HLPM believes that the cultural and social diversity of our faculty, staff, and students is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our research and academic programs. We are eager to have a colleague join our ranks who supports our institutional commitment to ensuring BU is inclusive, equitable, diverse, and a place where all constituents can thrive.

Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition dedicated to inclusion and social justice. We are proud that we were the first American university to award a Ph.D. to a woman and we continue that tradition of educating a diverse and talented student body. The School of Public Health takes the University’s commitment even further with its own detailed plan for fostering a diverse and inclusive community. Currently, HLPM has 48 primary faculty members who teach 80 courses annually, serving students in the Master of Public Health, Master of Science and doctoral programs. Faculty members conduct research supported by NIH, CDC, and other public and private sources in Medicaid and Medicare policy, health reform, health economics, health outcomes measurement, health disparities and equity, implementation science, aging, mental health, substance use, HIV/AIDS and quality of care.

Required Skills

Each faculty member is expected to maintain a portfolio of externally funded scholarly research. Duties will include teaching and advising MPH, MS and/or doctoral students. Faculty will work under a system of continuously rolling multi-year appointments. A doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, MD, or equivalent) in a relevant field is required. Ranks are open (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor).

The School of Public Health actively seeks to enrich its student and faculty ranks, recognizing that diversity of experience deepens the intellectual endeavor. We seek to embed—within our curricular and co-curricular activities—the principle that pluralism within a learning community is a source of insight and effectiveness. Interested candidates are invited to submit a curriculum vitae, and a cover letter that describes how your scholarship and teaching interests fit within the mission of HLPM and how you—through your teaching and/or scholarship—will contribute to our goals to engender a more inclusive and diverse school. Materials should be emailed to Meredith Hanna: mbhanna@bu.edu. The positions will remain open until filled.

Boston University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.

The Difference Is Our DNA

What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.

A Community Unlike Any Other

As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.

Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.

Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.

Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.

World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.

A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.

The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
