Associate or Full Professor: Social and Political Consequences of Disease

THE HELLER SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL POLICY AND MANAGEMENT of Brandeis University invites applications for a faculty position at the associate or full professor level (on a non-tenure basis).

We are recruiting an individual who will focus on externally-funded research, teaching, policy analysis, best practices, and implementation related to the social and political consequences of disease (particularly HIV/AIDS) for families and communities in developing countries. The successful candidate is expected to have conducted research and education programs on these issues and to have at least five years of relevant field experience.

We seek an established scholar with demonstrated experience in obtaining external funds for research support from the Federal government and foundations, participation in policy setting discussions in international forums, and evidence of excellent teaching.

Eligible candidates should have a doctoral degree in the social sciences (political scientist, economist, or similar), and have substantial leadership experience in both research and educational programs.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, samples of recent scholarship, and the names of at least three referees. Applications will be reviewed as they arrive, with priority given to those received before June 1, 2008.

Please send materials to Kristen Stevens, Program Administrator, Office of the Dean, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, MS 035, Brandeis University, Waltham MA 02454-9110.
