for a full-time appointee at the rank of assistant instructional

per year, including both core courses in the MPH curriculum, such as
Foundations of Public Health and the Capstone course, as well as courses
that draw on the specific areas of the candidate\'s research and
training. Areas of particular interest include maternal and child
health, epidemiology, community health, or spatial analysis, but all
areas of public health will be fully considered. In addition, the
appointee will also work with the assistant director of the program to
organize and support MPH advising, practicum experience placements, and
capstone project advising. This is a 12-month appointment and is
renewable, with an initial term of three years. This is a career track
with the possibility of future promotions to associate and full
instructional professor. The terms and conditions of employment for this
position are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the

Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must: 1) have a
PhD, DrPH, or equivalent degree in public health or a related field, and

position would begin in the summer of 2023.
To be considered, those interested must apply through The University of
Chicago\'s Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept

letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) a teaching statement in part
