Description
Academic Career & Executive Search is pleased to assist Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) - Portland State University (PSU) School of Public Health (SPH) in their search for an Associate Dean for Research.
Please be advised that as a result of circumstances surrounding Covid 19- this search has been placed on indefinite hold. Interested applicants may apply and will be notified once the search has resumed.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join one of the nation’s top schools of public health as the Associate Dean for Research (ADR). In this truly unique partnership, two of Oregon’s leading universities have combined their assets, skills, accomplishments, research and faculty to realize an institution focused on community-engaged learning and scholarship designed to put the student and researcher out in the world, in real communities. This unique collaboration combines the strengths of Oregon Health & Science University, the region’s world-class academic health center, with the deep community engagement of Portland State University, the state’s most diverse institution with the highest social mobility index.
Launched in 2016, this one-of-a-kind program for education, research and community outreach is well positioned to serve as a national model for understanding and addressing the social determinants of health. The school educates a broad spectrum of learners — from community health workers to professional caregivers — and is quickly becoming an incubator for health-related careers within fast-growing sectors of the U.S. economy.
OHSU-PSU School of Public Health seeks a dynamic and highly collaborative leader to expertly navigate both landscapes, acting as a visionary leader and bridge builder, ensuring that each institution’s research and faculty needs are strategically met and aligned while balancing OHSU’s internationally groundbreaking and lifesaving research and PSU’s commitment to community engagement and academic innovation. The position is very well supported including a brand new building ready in January 2021 to house the School of Public Health. The position also enjoys a motivated and dedicated faculty.
This is a true opportunity to create a legacy and make a major impact across two universities.
