The Clark Leadership Chair in Global Health is supported by a generous gift from the A. James and Alice B. Clark Foundation to promote interdisciplinary learning and research in fields of critical importance to the global community. Endowed funds are made available annually to support the salary and research initiatives of the Clark Leadership Chair. In this position, the successful candidate will take a leading role in advancing global health research and scholarship in the Department; lead a collaborative, externally-funded, interdisciplinary research program; teach and mentor students; and provide service to the university and profession.
Currently, GEOH includes a diverse group of 11 tenured/tenure-track faculty and 40 professional-track faculty focused on impactful research, scholarship, training, practice and

GEOH currently offers six academic degree programs: a new BS in Global Health (launched in

Environmental Science & Policy (in collaboration with our College of Agriculture & Natural

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to and help grow our new BS in Global Health and help envision future graduate programs in Global Health.
