Job description
One tenured full-time research faculty position at the Associate or Full Professor level
Michigan State University
Flint, Michigan, United States
The College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications for one tenured full-time research faculty position at the associate or full professor level within the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health in Flint, Michigan.
Backed by a $25 million gift from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, MSU offers large or fully guaranteed salary coverage for researchers relocating substantial external funding portfolios.
About the Department and Community
Founded in 2011 through a unique proposal from Flint-area hospitals and community members, the department operates on an unprecedented community-partnered model. As the first academic department to be co-developed and co-governed in partnership with the communities it serves, local citizens actively shape governance, focus areas, and serve on faculty hiring committees.
Flint is a historic hub for community-based participatory research. This community-partnered approach has driven the Department’s external funding (over $500M since beginning in 2015) and real-world impact. Featured current projects include two NIH-funded Centers (focused on maternal health equity and suicide prevention) and Rx Kids, the nation’s first universal cash prescription program for infants and expectant mothers.
About the 1855 Professorship
This 1855 Professorship offers a unique opportunity for an established researcher who seeks to continue their highly impactful, community-engaged health equity research to drive change in areas both relevant to Flint and widely applicable. These include increasing equity in social determinants of health, behavioral health, healthy behaviors, chronic disease, maternal-child health, and environmental justice, among others.
This open position is supported by the MSU Provost’s 1855 Professorships initiative that seeks to elevate the academic quality and reputation at MSU. The new faculty member will be expected to contribute to the multidisciplinary “Science for Community Impact” cluster of researchers who conduct translational science with marginalized communities using community-engaged, equity-focused partnerships.
