Health at the University of South Florida is recruiting for a

Global Health currently offers MPH, MSPH and PhD degrees in
Global Communicable Disease, an MPH and DrPH in Global Health
Practice as well as online MPH concentrations in GHH and

at the Undergraduate, Masters and Doctoral level in critical
thinking skills, preparing them to work in a myriad of
emergency situations. This Program is also designed to foster
the managerial and leadership skills required for public
health professionals working with large populations after a
disaster. Currently, the GHH program offers 14 classes and
has an enrollment exceeding 150 graduate level and
undergraduate students. The program is taught by eight junior
and adjunct faculty. In addition to teaching in the program,
the Director is responsible for curriculum development,
instructor assignment and programmatic oversight. The
Director reports to the Chair of the Department of Global
Health.
Requirements for this
position include a record of accomplishment and practical
expertise in the area of emergency management or humanitarian
relief and a background in a relevant discipline such as
public health, public administration, anthropology, sociology,
or geography. Demonstrated research ability, through
publication and communication of scientific findings, as well
as the ability to provide research-based teaching within the
areas of Disaster Response Management is preferred.
