What is urban health?

Urban health is a field of study and practice focused on how living in cities and urban environments affects the health and well-being of individuals and communities. It examines factors such as air quality, housing, transportation, access to healthcare, social inequalities, and how these elements impact health outcomes in urban areas. Professionals in urban health work to identify and address health disparities, promote healthy urban planning, and develop policies that improve public health in cities. The goal is to create healthier, more equitable urban environments for all residents.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in urban health, and why are they important?

To excel in Urban Health, professionals need a strong background in public health, epidemiology, and community health, often supported by a relevant degree such as an MPH or similar qualification. Familiarity with GIS mapping, public health data analysis tools, and population health management systems is commonly required. Outstanding communication, cultural competence, and problem-solving skills are essential for engaging diverse urban communities and stakeholders. These skills are vital for designing effective interventions, addressing health disparities, and improving overall health outcomes in complex urban environments.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in urban health roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in urban health often encounter challenges such as addressing health disparities in diverse populations, navigating limited resources, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders across public and private sectors. Urban environments can present unique issues like high population density, environmental pollution, and barriers to healthcare access. To address these challenges, urban health professionals frequently engage in multidisciplinary collaboration, community outreach, and data-driven planning to design effective interventions tailored to local needs. Continuous professional development and staying informed about public health trends also help them adapt solutions to evolving urban health concerns.

Job description

The School of Public Health (SPH) at the University of Memphis (UofM) is seeking to hire a full-time, 9-month tenure-track Associate/Full Professor in Implementation Science and Urban Health to join our interdisciplinary, collaborative team of faculty.

Duties and Responsibilities: The successful candidate will advance implementation science and urban health research with a focus on translating evidence-based interventions into sustainable, real-world practice in diverse and underserved urban populations. Responsibilities include to:

Develop and sustain a funded research program in implementation science and urban health, including areas such as chronic disease prevention, mental health, structural and social determinants of health, and community-based interventions.

Apply and advance implementation science and dissemination frameworks, including pragmatic trials, and strategies to improve adoption, implementation, and sustainability of evidence-based practices.

Advance community-engaged and participatory research, working collaboratively with public health agencies and community-based organizations, particularly within urban contexts.

Collaborate with faculty from public health, computer science, engineering, urban affairs, and related fields to advance SPH initiatives and interdisciplinary research.

Teach four (4) 3-credit hour courses (2 each semester) in areas such as implementation science, social and behavioral sciences, urban health, health disparities, and related fields.

Maintain an active research and publication agenda with peer-reviewed publications and extramural funding.

Mentor graduate and undergraduate students, including doctoral students, and contribute to workforce development in implementation science and urban health.

Contribute to curriculum development and program innovation, particularly in strengthening training in implementation science, dissemination research, and applied urban health.
