Instructor/Assistant/Associate Professor of Health Administration

Job Description

The Program in Public Health at Stony Brook is seeking to hire one (1) instructor for a non-tenure track faculty position with expectations for regular in-person presence. Successful candidates will possess the experience and skills necessary to offer innovative instruction for courses in our Health Administration curricula. The Program in Public Health holds accreditation by both the Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME), for the MHA and the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), for the MPH.

The MHA program is entirely delivered in an asynchronous online learning platform using Brightspace, with most students actively working in a healthcare setting while taking a part-time course of study. The MPH program offers courses in-person in a traditional classroom environment. The PPH also offers a PhD in Population Health and in Clinical Outcomes Research and has a strong focus on research and scholarship. The PPH has a thriving faculty portfolio of NIH-funded research on priority health topics. The successful candidate should contribute to our teaching mission with experience and expertise including health care administration, strategy, finance, and quality improvement.

The position is primarily teaching-focused, with some expectation of contributing to departmental and institutional service (87.5% teaching, 12.5% service). Responsibilities include teaching graduate health administration courses and career advising MHA students, including faculty supervision with applied learning experiences in real world health care and/or health policy settings. The teaching load, to include advising, will be equivalent to 7 courses over each 12-month period. We are seeking candidates who are enthusiastic about teaching and have experience in implementing pedagogical strategies for a wide range of health administration topics.

The ideal candidate for this position will have experience teaching health administration courses at the graduate level in an accredited school or program environment (CAHME, CEPH, AACSB); strong communication skills; evidence of successful collaboration with an instructional team; the ability to incorporate diversity, cultural competency, and/or social justice into teaching and service; and willingness to adhere to and contribute to accreditation requirements for competency-based curricula and assessments. Continuing professional development participation is expected from the instructor: there will be opportunities to attend conferences, workshops, on-line tutorials, and to join professional development opportunities and/or membership in professional organizations.

Program in Public Health:

The Program in Public Health includes an accredited fully-online MHA program admitting 45-50 new students annually and in-person MPH program admitting 30-40 new students each year. The PPH also offers an MS in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, a PhD offering two concentrations: Clinical Outcomes Research and Population Health, and two advanced graduate certificates in Health Education and Promotion and in Aging and Healthcare. We aim to produce creative, critical thinkers who will effect positive social change. Researchers in Public Health work with collaborators across the campus to ensure that education and research are integrative and dynamic.
