Tenure track Assistant, Associate or Full Professor

The Brown University Watson School of International and Public Affairs and School of Public Health invite applications for a tenure track faculty position for a health economist at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. The position is joint between the Department of Health Services, Policy, & Practice as the School of Public Health and the Watson School of International and Public Affairs.

The search is open to scholars applying for Associate and Full Professor positions, as well as scholars applying for an Assistant Professor position who have at least four years of experience since receiving their PhD.

We seek candidates with a background in health economics whose research makes rigorous and policy-relevant contributions to the scholarly literature in a manner appropriate to their career stage. The successful candidate must also demonstrate the ability to engage with students, policymakers, and an interdisciplinary range of scholars around the implications of their research for public policy. We are particularly interested in scholars conducting innovative research in health policy or health economics.

The successful candidate will join a vibrant interdisciplinary community of scholars working at the intersection of health policy, economics, public policy, and public affairs, with opportunities to collaborate across both schools.
