OPEN RANK, FULL-TIME, TENURE TRACK POSITION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH POLICY AND MANAGEMENT, MHA PROGRAM
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH) Department of Health Policy and Management seeks a highly qualified candidate to fill a full-time, tenure track position. Candidates must possess a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a directly relevant field (e.g., healthcare management, health administration, health services research, health economics, etc.). We are seeking candidates at all levels. Candidates with a strong commitment to research and teaching are encouraged to apply.
The primary responsibility for this position is to teach at least two courses each year in the CAHME-accredited MHA program or the PhD program in Health Systems and Services Research; generate extramural funding to conduct and disseminate original research; advise and mentor graduate students; serve on college and university committees; participate in program assessment activities; and help ensure the success of our MHA program.
This position has no soft money conditions, but we do expect faculty to reach at least a minimum of 30% salary coverage within a few years of employment. An attractive incentive plan is available to provide bonuses for faculty who exceed 30% of their salaries from extramural funding. The successful candidate will receive a highly competitive salary offer and benefits package commensurate with experience and level of appointment.
The COPH was created in 2001 with a portion of the state's tobacco settlement funds and was accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health in spring 2004 and remains accredited through 2021.

UAMS also has a statewide presence through its eight Regional Programs sites (formerly called Area Health Education Centers) and a regional campus located in northwest Arkansas, offering ready access to populations across Arkansas.
