Chair, Department of Health Policy and Management Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Lead the faculty of an exciting and growing academic Department of Health Policy and Management (HPM) at the new Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)! The IU Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI (FSPH) is recruiting a highly motivated individual to become the new Chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management. IUPUI is the health and life science campus of Indiana University and the focal point of health profession education in the State of Indiana and located in downtown Indianapolis. As a core health science school, the FSPH offers three PhD programs in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Health Policy and Management; an MPH program with concentrations in Social and Behavioral Sciences, Environmental Health, Epidemiology, Health Policy and Management, and Biostatistics; and a Master of Health Administration program. The School also offers a Bachelor of Science in Public Health with majors in Community Health and Environmental Health Science as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Services Management. The Department of Health Policy and Management oversees the BSHSM, the MHA, the MPH Health Policy and Management Concentration, and the PhD program in Health Policy and Management. As the chief administrative officer for the Department of Health Policy and Management, the new Chair will have responsibility for managing all faculty and administrative affairs and overseeing the educational and research programs of the Department. The new Department Chair also will work closely with Founding Dean Paul K. Halverson to develop and expand the new School and Department over the next several years. The successful candidate must have a doctorate in public health or related social sciences and track-record of achievements in teaching, research, and service appropriate for appointment at the Associate- or Full-Professor level. Prior leadership and administrative experience is preferred. The substantive areas of expertise sought are open; however, we are interested in candidates who would strengthen our new school's capacity in the following areas: (1) public health and/or healthcare systems research and policy; (2) healthcare management; and (3) health economics and program evaluation. Indianapolis is the capital of Indiana and the country's 11th largest city. It is large enough to play host to the Indianapolis 500 (the largest single-day sporting event in the world) and the 2012 Super Bowl, but small enough to personify small-town charm. Indianapolis offers superb cultural, educational, sports and dining opportunities. Residents enjoy low cost of living, short commute times, and high quality of life. Review of applications for the position of Department Chair will begin on August 15, 2013 and continue until the positions are filled. Salary will be commensurate with rank and experience. We are committed to building a diverse faculty and encourage and welcome applications from minorities and women. Applicants should submit a cover letter summarizing their research and teaching interests and experience; a copy of their curriculum vitae; and have at least 6 letters of reference sent directly to the Faculty Search and Screen Committee. Electronic submission of all application materials is preferred and should be sent to the attention of Amanda Baldwin, Financial Services Coordinator for Administration and Finance, IU Fairbanks School of Public Health at fsphsrch@iupui.edu. Inquiries about the positions may be sent to Dr. Eric R. Wright, Chair, Department of Health Policy and Management at ewright@iupui.edu. IUPUI is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution M/F/D.
