Stony Brook University Looking for Public Health Instructional Faculty, Instructor/Assistant Professor, Program in Public Health Full Time

Location: Stony Brook, New York
Open Date: Dec 08, 2023
Deadline: Feb 08, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time

Description
The Program in Public Health at Stony Brook is seeking to hire one (1) instructor for a non-tenure track faculty position. The successful candidate will possess the experience and skills necessary to offer innovative instruction for our MPH Program with the potential to contribute to other degree programs that we offer. The Program in Public Health holds accreditation by both the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for the MPH, and the Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) for the MHA.

The MPH program is primarily delivered in a traditional face-to-face modality with some hybrid and online courses depending on the concentration. Areas of specialization include community health, health policy and management, advanced epidemiology and biostatistics, a generalist option for clinical students, and a new concentration in climate solutions and health (expected to launch in 2024). The successful candidate should contribute to our teaching mission in the topic areas of data analytics, research methods, epidemiology, chronic diseases, biostatics and mental health. The PPH has a thriving faculty portfolio of NIH-funded research on priority health topics. Students are well trained to manage large health data sets and advanced methodological skills, including biostatistics, epidemiology, and are well prepared to design, implement, and evaluate programs to address the social behavioral determinants of health, as well as health care management and policy.

The position is primarily teaching-focused, with some expectation of contributing to departmental and institutional service (87.5% teaching, 12.5% service). Responsibilities include teaching graduate courses and career advising, including faculty supervision with applied learning experiences in real world public health, health care, and/or health policy settings. The teaching load, to include advising, will be equivalent to 7 courses over each 12-month period. We are seeking candidates who are enthusiastic about teaching and have experience in implementing pedagogical strategies for a wide range of public health topics.

The ideal candidate for this position will have experience teaching public health courses at the graduate level in an accredited school or program environment (CEPH); strong communication skills; evidence of successful collaboration with an instructional team; the ability to incorporate diversity, cultural competency, and/or social justice into teaching and service; and willingness to adhere to and contribute to accreditation requirements for competency-based curricula and assessments. Continuing professional development participation is expected from the instructor: there will be opportunities to attend conferences, workshops, on-line tutorials, and to join professional development opportunities and/or membership in professional organizations.

Program in Public Health

The Program in Public Health includes an accredited MPH program, designed to be a small, highly selective program, admitting 35-50 new students each year as well as an accredited fully-online MHA program admitting 30-50 new students annually. The PPH also offers an MS in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, a PhD offering two concentrations: Clinical Outcomes Research and Population Health, and an advanced graduate certificate in Health Education and Promotion. We aim to produce creative, critical thinkers who will effect positive social change. Researchers in Public Health work with collaborators across the campus to ensure that education and research are integrative and dynamic. Areas of research focus include health disparities, aging, trauma/intimate partner violence, child/adolescent health, sexual/reproductive health, global health, environmental health, clinical outcomes research, and health services research.
