The Department of Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy is seeking an outstanding candidate to join its Pharmaceutical Health Services, Outcomes, and Policy ( PHSOP ) program to provide leadership in research, instruction, and service. The PHSOP program is an interdisciplinary program that investigates structure, processes, and outcomes of pharmaceutical and overall health care systems.

This position is a part of the University of Georgia’s Precision One Health hiring initiative.
