One tenured full-time research faculty position at the Associate or Full Professor
level
Michigan State University
Flint, Michigan, United States
The College of Human Medicine at Michigan
State University (MSU) invites applications for one tenured full-time research faculty position at the associate or full professor level
within the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health in Flint, Michigan.
Backed by a $25 million gift from the Charles Stewart
Mott Foundation, MSU offers large or fully guaranteed salary coverage for researchers relocating substantial external funding
portfolios.
About the Department and Community
Founded in 2011 through a unique proposal from Flint-area
hospitals and community members, the department operates on an unprecedented community-partnered model. As the first academic department to
be co-developed and co-governed in partnership with the communities it serves, local citizens actively shape governance, focus areas, and
serve on faculty hiring committees.
Flint is a historic hub for community-based participatory research. This community-partnered
approach has driven the Department’s external funding (over $500M since beginning in 2015) and real-world impact. Featured current projects
include two NIH-funded Centers (focused on maternal health equity and suicide prevention) and Rx Kids, the nation’s first universal cash
prescription program for infants and expectant mothers.
About the 1855 Professorship
This 1855 Professorship
offers a unique opportunity for an established researcher who seeks to continue their highly impactful, community-engaged health equity
research to drive change in areas both relevant to Flint and widely applicable. These include increasing equity in social determinants of
health, behavioral health, healthy behaviors, chronic disease, maternal-child health, and environmental justice, among others.
This
open position is supported by the MSU Provost’s 1855 Professorships initiative that seeks to elevate the academic quality and reputation at
MSU. The new faculty member will be expected to contribute to the multidisciplinary “Science for Community Impact” cluster of researchers
who conduct translational science with marginalized communities using community-engaged, equity-focused partnerships.
