Job Description:
The myriad health effects of global climate change, including
those related to heat waves, food insecurity, vector-borne
diseases, storms, and other natural disasters, require a somewhat
urgent research response on local and global impact assessments and
mitigation strategies. The next generation of researchers will in
many ways help define the response to the ongoing and significant
changes in climate due to human activities.
The School of Global Public Health (GPH) of New York University is
preparing for the next generation of public health leaders with the
critical thinking skills, acumen, and entrepreneurial approaches
necessary to reinvent the public health paradigm. GPH aims to
improve health worldwide through a unique blend of global public
health studies, research, and practice.
GPH offers various academic programs at the undergraduate, masters
and doctoral levels. The undergraduate program includes 13 joint
majors where students study public health with other relevant
subjects. GPHs CEPH-accredited programs include (among others) the
Master of Public Health (MPH) in various concentrations, the Master
of Science in two concentrations, the PhD in Public Health in one
of four areas of study (Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Social &
Behavioral Sciences, and Public Health Policy & Management), and a
school-wide interdisciplinary DrPH degree.
NYU has an extensive global network of teaching and research sites
throughout the world. These sites include three portal campuses and
12 global academic centers in Africa, Australia, China, Europe, the
Middle East, and North and South America. This unique arrangement
allows GPH to establish and collaborate on training and degree
programs and research efforts worldwide, offers faculty and
students truly unique opportunities to engage in their research and
to study around the world, and informs public health practice both
locally and globally through the exchange of knowledge.
The Program in Global and Environmental Public Health emphasizes
the development of strong leadership skills while analyzing,
planning, and managing innovative global public health programs.
The program offers three MPH degrees: Global Health; Environmental
Public Health; and the Sustainable Development Goals. It also
offers certificates in Health & Human Rights, Implementation
Science, and Applied Global Public Health. Faculty in the program
collaborate with colleagues in multiple countries in Africa, Asia,
Latin America, and Central Europe. Faculty in the program also
participate in the school-wide, newly-launched DrPH degree. The
Program is interested in recruiting an outstanding faculty member
who can strengthen and contribute to its research agenda and course
offerings. We are strongly committed to promoting diversity and
supporting students, staff, and faculty from underrepresented
backgrounds.
The program is seeking applications for a tenure track Assistant
Professor faculty position. Candidates are expected to have: (1) a
doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, DrPH, MD, JD) in an area related to
Global and Environmental Public Health - particularly in the
assessment and/or mitigation of the health effects of climate
change, and (2) teaching experience in global and environmental
public health.
Diversity & Inclusion Statement
At NYU we are committed to inclusive excellence. Inclusion is
foundational to scholarly excellence and critical to developing
pathways to training for students traditionally underrepresented in
the academy and/or particular disciplines. The diversity and
inclusion statement offers each applicant the opportunity to
highlight their past, present, and future contributions to creating
inclusive excellence.
We recognize that local contexts vary across departments and
disciplines and that contributions to diversity and inclusion may
take many forms. Efforts to cultivate inclusive excellence might
include, for example, creating opportunities for students, faculty,
and staff traditionally underrepresented in the U.S. academy and/or
particular disciplines; public or primary school outreach
(particularly to underserved communities); contributions to the
diversity of thought and perspective; efforts to increase inclusion
and equity at the university or in the local community; as well as
ones own life experience.
Below are a few examples of contributions to inclusion that might
