Faculty Appointment in Health Policy - University of Maryland

Faculty Appointment in Health Policy

The School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, College Park, is seeking a new
tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor to join an interdisciplinary group of health-policy
scholars. Attractive interests would include, but would not be limited to, health care regulation
(including regulatory politics), state-level implementation of federal initiatives, and normative
implications of emerging health-system stresses. Research interests and methodological skills
applicable beyond health policy would be advantageous. The successful applicant will be
expected to teach in the School's core graduate curriculum as well.

Candidates for these positions must qualify to join the School's faculty as active teachers and
scholars. They should possess a terminal degree, such as a Ph.D. or its equivalent, in a relevant
discipline, including the Life, Physical, and Social Sciences, as well as Engineering and Law.
Applications are welcome from candidates with a demonstrated interest, expertise, and,
preferably, experience in public policy formulation and implementation. Those who have
recently received a Ph.D. (or expect to earn the degree before the start of the 2011-2012
academic year) or who are already established scholars are encouraged to apply. Appointments
are anticipated to begin in August 2011. Salary is competitive.

The Maryland School of Public Policy is a top-ranked graduate school of public policy and
management with a faculty of scholars and distinguished practitioners. The School offers a
Master of Public Policy, degree primarily for pre-career students, and a Masters of Public
Management degree, primarily for mid-career students. There is a Ph.D. program for outstanding
emerging scholars. The School also offers executive (degree and non-degree) programs for
career executives in federal, state, and international agencies. The University of Maryland is
located inside the Washington Beltway, within thirty minutes of federal agencies, key
international associations, and many non-profit and private policy-research organizations.
Application materials should include a letter of interest describing the candidate's qualifications,
a curriculum vitae with contact information for at least three references, a recent publication or
writing sample, and a summary of teaching experience. Position open until filled, but
applications should be received by November 1, 2010 for best consideration.
