<br>
We are soliciting applications for a new Bio-Social Training
Program that aims to promote and support interdisciplinary training
of Post-doctoral scholars from both the social sciences and
biological/health sciences. The goal of this new and innovative training program
is to produce scientists who will conduct truly integrative work that will
address some of the most pressing health problems. Trainees will have
the opportunity to receive interdisciplinary mentorship and training in a
wide array of content areas, ranging from social inequalities to
biological processes. Trainees will enter from their respective
disciplines and will identify a co-preceptor team comprised of a mentor from
their home discipline and another representing their new interdisciplinary
interest area.<br>
<br>
Requirements: Postdoctoral trainees must have received their PhD
degree before the start date of the traineeship. Graduates from
any academic program are eligible to apply.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Position Summary</span><span></span></b><span style="color:black"><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Cornell University’s Department of Policy Analysis and
Management (PAM) in the College of Human Ecology (CHE) invites applications for
a dynamic, visionary leader to serve as Chair. The Department consists of
29 tenure track faculty spanning multiple disciplines with strong depth in
economics, sociology, and demography. The Department offers a wide range
of programs at all degree levels, and the Chair position presents an
opportunity for a scholar to play a key role in supporting and elevating the
social sciences and public policy in CHE and Cornell University more
broadly. PAM serves as a hub for teaching in public policy, currently
offering a large undergraduate major in Policy Analysis and Management, a
Masters in Health Administration (the Sloan Program), and a PhD in Policy
Analysis and Management. PAM is launching a new undergraduate major in Health
Care and Policy and contributes to teaching in the professional MPA degree
offered by the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs (CIPA). The
Department has strong ties with schools and departments across Cornell, and
faculty lend their expertise to several graduate fields, including Economics,
Sociology, Public Affairs, Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), and
Demography. The Department also has close connections with and provides
leadership to multidisciplinary centers and institutes across campus, with PAM
faculty leading and playing significant roles in the Cornell Population Center,
the Institute for Social Sciences, the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational
Research (BCTR), and CIPA. <span></span></span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">PAM faculty are exceptional in their research
productivity. According to <i>Academic Analytics</i>, the faculty in PAM
ranked 5<sup>th</sup> in overall productivity among the 79 public policy
programs included in the analysis. PAM’s annual operating budget planned for
2017-2018 is $9.6 million, including 77 percent from CHE and 23 percent from
grants, contracts, federal appropriations, restricted gifts, and endowment
income. <span></span></span><span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The next Chairperson will be an internationally known
scholar with the ability to be strategic and visionary about PAM’s future
opportunities, who can build on the positive trajectory that PAM has
established since its inception twenty years ago. The candidate will need
a scholarly record commensurate with tenure at the full professor level and the
ability to balance administration, research, teaching, and public
engagement. The primary responsibilities of the Chair include providing
leadership and oversight of the department’s academic programs and budgets, and
working closely with the department’s administrative manager to ensure a
workplace that is supportive of faculty, staff, and students. The ideal
candidate will be able to demonstrate the ability to lead in a climate of
collaboration, transparency, and shared governance. The Chair also plays
a key role in campus-wide initiatives related to public policy and the social
sciences. The Department Chair reports to the Dean of CHE.<span></span></span><span></span></p>
