The Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health is seeking to appoint an assistant professor to teach and conduct research in health policy and management. The successful candidate should possess a broad knowledge of both health care and health policy. Candidates will be expected to be able to undertake empirical research employing statistical and econometric methods. Candidates should have demonstrated the experience and skills necessary to play a central role in research and teaching.

Candidates should hold an earned doctoral degree in medicine (M.D.) and additional training in research. A Ph.D. in a closely related social science discipline, such as health policy, sociology, or economics is desirable, but not required. We expect that this individual will conduct research on quality of care, access to care, and related delivery system issues. Other qualifications include advanced methodological training, evidence of ability or the potential to manage national and international projects, to collaborate with professionals in other disciplines, and to teach health policy and management courses at the graduate level.

Please send a letter of application, including a statement of current and future research interests, curriculum vitae, sample publications and the names of four referees to the following address. Applicants should ask their referees to write independently to this address. The electronic submission of application documents to the email below is welcome:
