Professor
Apply NowCompany: UT Health
Location: San Antonio, TX 78228
Description:
The UT School of Public Health is the newest school at UT Health, San Antonio, a collaboration between The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, also called UT Health San Antonio, and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The new graduate school will provide academic instruction relevant to public health and serve as a focus of research activities directed toward community health problems, as it maintains and grows relationships with all entities interested in public health. The school will offer master's and doctoral programs in public health.
The Department seeks to identify successful mid to senior-level faculty candidates (Associate or Full Professor) with demonstrated research portfolios and scholarly publications; experience in teaching coursework appropriate to graduate-level instruction in epidemiology, brain health, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, neuropathology, and aging. Faculty will be expected to contribute formally to the academic curricula development, mentorship, leadership, and teaching within an interdisciplinary research team, particularly in the areas described (brain health, etc.). A medical degree (MD) with experience treating Alzheimer's and cognitive disorders is preferred.
The Department of Quantitative and Qualitative Health Sciences welcomes candidates whose experience will contribute to teaching graduate-level courses, preferably bridging the intersection of public health and clinical students. Teaching responsibilities will include teaching public health students, post-docs, and medical students collaborating in the epidemiology of aging and dementia research. The candidate will support public health students in developing a shared language that enables effective collaboration with clinical students after graduation.
We invite applications from distinguished scholars renowned for their work in epidemiological and population research related to Alzheimer's disease, other dementias, stroke, cerebrovascular disorders, or other neurological conditions. Ideal candidates should have advanced training in Epidemiology or Clinical Investigation (M.S., M.S.c., M.P.H., or Ph.D.). Applicants must have a proven track record of impactful research and success in securing external funding (e.g., NIH, CDC, AHRQ, PCORI, etc.). Experience in academic leadership, program development, and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration is highly desirable.
Senior faculty will also actively engage in mentoring opportunities for masters and doctoral-level students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career faculty. The candidate will contribute to existing T-32 programs and assist with developing similar future opportunities.
The selected candidate will establish an independent, grant-funded research program, collaborate on major projects like the San Antonio Heart Mind Study, and engage in external partnerships. Expertise in population health, community engagement, and health disparities is essential. This position provides a unique opportunity to contribute to impactful research and teaching addressing public health challenges in aging and neurological diseases. The ideal candidate must have a strong record of scholarly productivity and funding to be considered.
