Assistant/Associate Professor - Tenure-Track Faculty Position

The University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health invites applications for up to two tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant/Associate level in the Department of Health Services Policy and Management (HSPM). These 9-month faculty positions are fully supported by state funds and include a substantial start-up package. We seek individuals who share our vision of a world in which health care is accessible, affordable, effective, and equitable for all, who are passionate about conducting rigorous research that informs policy and practice, and who take seriously the responsibility of training the next generation of health care administrators, public health practitioners, policy analysts, and health services researchers. We are especially interested in individuals whose research and/or teaching interests are in the areas of health economics, econometric methods, outcomes research, health equity, social determinants of health, and/or health politics and policy, broadly defined. Successful candidates will be expected to develop or sustain an independent extramurally-funded research program; teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in the department; advise and mentor students and postdoctoral fellows; and provide service to the University, profession, and community.
About the Department and the School of Public Health
HSPM is home to 15 full-time faculty who are actively engaged in research to address public health and health care challenges in areas such as rural health, behavioral health, infectious disease, health economics, primary care, maternal and child health, health insurance and hospital care. Our faculty lead or co-lead four major centers on campus: the Rural Health Research Center, the Big Data Health Sciences Center, the South Carolina Center for Effectiveness Research in Orthopedics, and the Patient Engagement Studio. Our location in the state capital near government agencies and an array of non-profit organizations facilitates collaborative community-engaged partnerships focused on public health priorities important to the people of our state and nation. Our faculty teach courses in the undergraduate public health major, and we also offer three fully-accredited graduate degree programs: a Master of Health Administration, a Master of Public Health, and a PhD in Health Services Policy and Management. HSPM is a full Graduate Member of the Association of University Programs in Health Administration.

HSPM is housed within the Arnold School of Public Health at USC-the state's public flagship university. The Arnold School hosts a rich portfolio of extramurally funded research totaling more than $54 million last year. The school ranks 6th nationally in National Institutes of Health funding among all public schools of public health, and offers numerous resources for faculty engaged in research, including generous salary release and indirect return policies.
Columbia is a lively and diverse city with a reasonable cost of living, an excellent quality of life, and a wide variety of things to see and do. Jogging and walking paths line the downtown and riverfront greenway, with parks scattered throughout the rest of the city, and the popularity of downtown living has sparked the growth of independent restaurants, coffee houses, wine bars, breweries, galleries, boutiques, and street fairs. Other Columbia highlights include: the Columbia Museum of Art with continuous high-profile traveling exhibits; the Nickelodeon art house cinema; the South Carolina State Museum with its planetarium, observatory, and 4-D movie theatre; the nationally recognized Riverbanks Zoo and Garden; and Lake Murray. Columbia has a lively local music scene and national entertainment tours that visit the Colonial Life Arena and the Koger Center for the Arts. Known for its college athletics teams as a member of the SEC, the city also hosts a minor league baseball team (the Columbia Fireflies). On top of that, our central location means you are just a few hours (or less) from world-class beaches, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and popular urban destinations such as Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, and Charleston, SC.
