the Department levels of academic productivity in research activity,
service and teaching.

public health and a demonstrated record of teaching, research and
scholarly activity.
Ideal
candidates will have an extensive publication record in peer-reviewed
journals; a history of extramural funding; commitment to and experience
in mentoring students; prior experience in community-based
participatory research and partnership development; effective oral and
written communication skills; and commitment to collegiality and
collaboration.

Educational
Leadership for the Health of the Public-supports investments in health
and healthcare education for both providers and consumers.
Research
for a Healthier Tomorrow-supports both basic and clinical research
initiatives in cardiovascular disease, cancer, neuroscience, genetics
and population health.
