the Instructor or Assistant Professor level (Assistant Professor if the candidate has a Ph.D./JD in hand; Instructor otherwise). The Health Care Management Program is seeking a pool of candidates to fill one position.

The department's current teaching needs are in the areas of health equity. The candidate must be prepared to teach one course in the fall semester within the area of need. The candidate must hold regularly scheduled office hours during the semester. Fall semester appointment begins August 24, 2026 for classes that begin August 31, 2026.

The candidate hired to teach this course will have responsibilities for managing all aspects of teaching the course, including course development, course delivery, grading, and communicating with students. The department will provide guidance on course content and syllabus development. The candidate is also expected to hold office hours (in-person or virtual) to ensure access to students outside of class hours.
