Public Health - Associate Professor, Tenure-Track/Tenured

The Community Public Health Program at NYU is seeking applicants for a new tenured/tenure-track faculty position in Public Health at the Associate Professor rank. The program in public health is characterized by a widely-shared interest in community health interventions and their evaluation. The Steinhardt School provides undergraduate and graduate education in the areas of culture, education and human development, and includes several departments focused on health and health services. Faculty research, both domestic and international, focuses on such interventions as they pertain to HIV, obesity, risk behavior, maternal and child health, mental health, primary care delivery, health disparities, injury prevention and control, urban and environmental health. These areas of study afford many opportunities for collaboration among the Steinhardt faculty and with other faculty members at NYU and we seek candidates with qualifications and experience that bridge programs within the Department and/or School.
