Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern University is a Carnegie Doctoral/R2 institution with a focus on public-impact research, serving about 27,000 students on three beautiful campuses in Statesboro, Savannah, and Hinesville, and via a growing online program. Through our degree offerings at the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels, Georgia Southern offers a distinctive combination of community collaboration, world-class scholarship, innovative teaching, and hands-on learning opportunities.
To equitably serve a fast growing and highly diverse student body and to fulfill the University's commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, we actively seek candidates with a demonstrated commitment to Inclusive Excellence. Candidates whose work furthers the institution's goals and who bring to campus varied life experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.
Within this setting, the mission of the JPHCOPH is to improve health and eliminate health disparities and health inequities of rural communities and underserved populations globally through excellence in teaching, public health workforce development, research, scholarship, professional service and community engagement. The successful candidate will facilitate the building of a culture that shapes our intra- and extramural funding base and expands our reputation and recognition for research in recovery science and substance use disorders. As part of this intentional effort to build sustainability in this area, there is a need for a strong, highly experienced Practice Scholar and Researcher that can provide leadership to the Center for Addiction Recovery and encourage and support the JPHCOPH, the university, and the community in order to affect change and make an impact. Additionally, Director of the Center for Addiction Recovery will provide the JPHCOPH and the university the means for enhancement of scholarly efforts, and for the initialization of responsive, nimble and strategic pursuit of multi-disciplinary research and sustained external funding to address the challenge of substance use, recovery and prevention efforts.
Position Description. With a dual reporting line to the Associate Dean for Practice and Research and the Chair of the Department of Health Policy and Community Health, the Director of the Center for Addiction Recovery and Tenure Track Assistant or Associate Professor will be responsible for oversight of the activities of the Center for Addiction Recovery and building a sustainable research program in the area of substance use, recovery and prevention efforts. In addition to developing their own research program, the successful candidate is expected to support the research endeavors of others (students and faculty) through mentoring in scholarly activities and aiding in obtaining grants/contracts in congruent and compatible research areas.
