The Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing (https://www.nursing.psu.edu/) is pleased to announce an open-rank tenure line faculty position focused on exploring the ethical implications of accessing care for rurally based persons, specifically as they relate to research targeting, understanding gaps in care, and eliminating barriers to receiving care.

In addition to accelerating strong collaborative interdisciplinary research, the new faculty member will teach both undergraduate and graduate level courses and direct dissertations. The successful candidate also will mentor faculty with similar or complementary research foci.
