The successful candidate must show evidence of potential for excellence in teaching and publication in how health equity, systems, and outcomes are impacted by racialization and racism and/or intersections of race, gender, and class, with particular expertise in intersectionality, critical pedagogy, and/or community-engaged research. As our student body, particularly within Health Policy and Management and Black Studies, grows increasingly diverse, we have a strong preference for publicly engaged scholarship, and candidates with interests in student-centered pedagogical and mentoring practices. Moreover, as students of color and their allies have demanded in college and university protests across the nation, Providence College supports the students’ desire to hire faculty who demonstrate a deep commitment to and proven ability in supporting the success of students from historically marginalized economic, social, and cultural groups. Essential Duties The course load is 3-3 with the option for a one semester pre-tenure research leave after three years of service as a member of the Ordinary Faculty. Education and Experience Required A Ph.D. in anthropology, demography, public health, health communications, geography, public policy, political science, sociology, or related fields appropriate to a joint appointment in Health Policy and Management and Black Studies is required and applicants must have dissertation in hand at the time of appointment. Posting Number: F85P Instructions to candidates Applicants should apply online at the College’s career site at https://careers.providence.edu and submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, writing sample/sample publication, teaching statement/philosophy and evidence of teaching effectiveness, a separate one-page statement on how you envision teaching the Introduction to Black Studies course, and three (3) letters of recommendation.

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
