LECTURER-HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION AND POLICY

Lecturer - Health Care Administration and Policy

The Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions (CHS) Science of Health Care Delivery Program is seeking a full-time, 9-month non-tenured instructional faculty member at the rank of Lecturer.  The science of healthcare delivery program provides undergraduate and graduate students foundational knowledge of health care administration and health policy grounded in concepts of leadership, social determinants of health, informatics, systems engineering and economics. Faculty are multidisciplinary tenure-track and clinically trained professionals who work together to create, teach and disseminate knowledge. This is a fixed-term appointment that is renewable annually.  Subsequent one-year appointments may be offered, under the same terms and conditions, at the discretion of the college and university. 

Responsibilities for this position include teaching and potentially developing undergraduate courses in health care systems, health care management, population health management, population health policy and legislation on-line and/or in-person at the Downtown Phoenix campus and/or potentially at the Polytechnic campus or West campus and providing service to the college and relevant degrees. Applicants must present evidence of teaching experience and a strong commitment to high quality teaching at the undergraduate levels.  Typical workloads for instructional faculty are consistent with 80% teaching (usually equivalent to four courses per semester) and 20% service to the program, college and/or university.

At ASU and the College of Health Solutions, we work to maximize opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives. We value and encourage cultural and intellectual diversity, and strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for all faculty, staff and students — which we believe is critical to our success as a community. All individuals who can strengthen the diversity of our academic community are encouraged to apply, and will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.

Through teaching, academic programs, service and research, all faculty at the College of Health Solutions address one or more of our three major areas of focus: 1) The systems of health care and the health needs of populations; 2) Health and human performance of individuals across the lifespan; 3) Personalized interventions through precision health. Across these areas, we work to address complex and difficult health problems which require transformative collaboration, translational research, and innovation. We are particularly interested in making an impact on populations with significant health disparities.

In all cases, our faculty use interdisciplinary approaches to address the complex systems that underpin health problems. We are highly collaborative, transparent and team-oriented. Our innovative organizational structure includes translational teams that move science from labs into communities with evidence-based interventions that make a difference, as well as affinity networks where teams of people work together to improve methodologies and processes. All of our programs, in and out of the classroom, are designed with the goal of improving the health of people and communities.

Current training programs include behavioral health, biomedical diagnostics, biomedical informatics, exercise science, health promotion, health sciences, kinesiology, medical studies, nutrition, population health, the science of health care delivery, and speech and hearing science.
