Job Description Assistant/Associate Professor (Requisition 163856 /
163857)
Division of Health Policy and Management School of Public Health,
University of Minnesota ---and--- Minnesota Population Center University
of Minnesota
The Division of Health Policy and Management (HPM), School of Public
Health and the Minnesota Population Center (MPC) at the University of
Minnesota invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant or tenured
Associate Professor with interests in interdisciplinary population and
health research. We seek a health demographer who can actively contribute
to the research and training missions of both HPM and MPC. The tenure
home for this position is in the Division of Health Policy and Management
in the School of Public Health.
A doctoral degree in health services research, demography or a related
discipline such as economics or sociology is required. Suitable
candidates will have background and experience in both population studies
and health services research, and will engage in scholarship that bridges
these areas of inquiry. We are especially interested in candidates who use
secondary data to understand issues related to population health and/or
access to care. Special consideration will be given to candidates with
(1) research experience and publications using data from the U.S. Census
Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality, and related agencies; (2) expertise in
survey methodology and/or formal demographic techniques; and (3)
substantive interests in issues related to access to health care for
vulnerable populations.
The successful candidate will play an active role in the training of
graduate students with interests in population health who may be pursuing
degrees in health services research, sociology, public health, public
administration, or other fields. Candidates should also be willing to
prepare courses on formal demographic techniques and/or survey research
methods.
The Division of Health Policy and Management is located in the School of
Public Health. Its mission is to improve the public's health by
stimulating, coordinating, and conducting high quality research and
teaching programs that are focused on improving the organization,
financing and delivery of health care services. The Division is home to
several vibrant research centers including the State Health Access Data
Assistance Center (SHADAC), whose faculty conducts research and technical
assistance on the collection and use of data related to health insurance
coverage and access to care.
The Minnesota Population Center is a University-wide interdisciplinary
cooperative for demographic research. With core support from NICHD, the
center provides shared infrastructure for demographic research and
training and coordinates collaborative research across the University.
Although best known for its large-scale demographic data infrastructure
projects, MPC houses numerous substantive, interdisciplinary research
projects on population, health, the environment, and related issues.
Researchers from MPC and HPM successfully led an effort to establish a new
Census Bureau Research Data Center which will open in January 2010. The
Minnesota Research Data Center (MnRDC) provides access to confidential
(non-public) data for research in a highly secure environment. The MnRDC
will provide Minnesota researchers access to restricted datasets from the
U.S. Census Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other agencies. Minnesota
researchers in demography, business, economics, epidemiology, geography,
health services, public policy, sociology, and elsewhere will benefit from
this important new research infrastructure. We seek someone who will take
advantage of the research opportunities afforded by the MnRDC, and who may
come to take a leadership role in the new center.
Researchers in MPC and HPM have long had collaborative research
relationships. For example, the Integrated Health Interview Series (IHIS)
provides integrated data and documentation from the U.S. National Health
Interview Surveys (NHIS) from 1969 to the present. Over 1000 integrated
variables are now available, and linking keys enable users to include
other, not yet integrated variables from the NHIS files facilitating
research on health of populations over time. This project is lead by an
HPM faculty member and housed at the MPC.
This 12-month, 100% time appointment offers the standard University
benefits (see http://www1.umn.edu/ohr/benefits/bensum/index.html). Salary
and rank are based on experience and qualifications. The position is open
until filled. Review of applications begins on December 1, 2009 and
continues until filled. Candidates applying at the assistant professor
level should go to
http://employment.umn.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=84031, where they
should provide contact and demographic information, and 1) a letter
describing their scholarly interests, background, experiences, and
accomplishments; 2) a curriculum vitae; and 3) two samples of written
scholarship. Candidates applying at the associate professor level should
go to http://employment.umn.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=84032, and
provide the information shown above. Applicants should also be prepared,
upon invitation, to have three letters of reference sent on their behalf.
Contact Lynn Blewett at blewe001 at umn.edu<mailto:blewe001 at umn.edu> with
questions. E-mailed applications are not accepted.
The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
