Please circulate this opportunity to colleagues and prospective

The University of Chicago invites applications for two first-term
tenure-track positions at the assistant professor level with a focus on
aging and health; of particular interest is how social context interacts
with the health care system to produce health outcomes among older
persons. The faculty members will be affiliated with the Center for
Health and the Social Sciences (CHeSS), which supports interdisciplinary
research and training at the interface of health and the social
sciences; the faculty will have access to administrative and research
support through the Center. Faculty will hold primary academic
appointments in any of the academic units listed below. Partial support
for these positions is provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA)
under a P30 mechanism grant with funds from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Successful candidates will have a
doctoral degree or equivalent terminal degree and strong potential to
build an active research program in aging and to contribute to the
strong interdisciplinary research on aging at the University of Chicago.
These positions will be expected to start no later than July 1, 2010; an
earlier start date is possible and preferred. For more information about
each position and to apply online, please go to the job posting in each
participating department or school listed below.  Applications received
by January 18, 2010 will receive full consideration; after that,
applications will be considered until the positions are filled or until
the application deadline of March 31, 2010. The University of Chicago is
an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer.
