    Description

    The School of Public Health (SPH) at San Diego State University (SDSU) invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level to support the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) Program in the Division of Global Health Management and Policy (GHMP). The SDSU School of Public Health (SPH) is ranked in the top 15% in the nation and third in California. The SPH is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health and GHMP is a member of the Association of University Programs in Health Administration.

    This is a full-time (9-month), state-funded tenure-track position. The selected individual will be a full-time faculty member of the GHMP division and support the DrPH and graduate programming in the SPH. The individual will continue to build an independent research agenda. The faculty is expected to teach DrPH-required courses related to health economics, health policy, health systems strengthening, as well as other SPH/GHMP graduate courses as appropriate. Additional responsibilities include course development, thesis/dissertation supervision, field practice supervision, and services to the School, College, University, and communities.

    The DrPH Program was launched in Fall 2024 with an inaugural cohort of 18 DrPH students. The purpose of the DrPH Program is to train leaders and executive managers to guide public health efforts, both public and private, in the State of California, the United States, and globally. The DrPH includes two concentrations (Executive Management and Global Health Management) and is structured as a hybrid-modality cohort model for 48 academic credits involving both synchronous and asynchronous coursework. Except for the first summer of year 1, all courses are held on-line. Additional information about the DrPH Program at SDSU is available at the following webpage: https://publichealth.sdsu.edu/drph.
