• Have a doctorate or the equivalent professional degree in a discipline related to health administration.

The candidate will have a completed doctorate by June 1, 2022.
• Be establishing a research profile of refereed research in high-impact journals and through conference presentations.
• Demonstrate willingness and ability to secure peer-reviewed external grant funds and the ability to be a team leader on funded research supporting and supervising doctoral students and postdoctoral associates.
