Position description

Department of Humanities and Social Sciences
University of California, San Francisco
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Any Rank

The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences (DHSS) and the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies (IHPS) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), invite applications for full-time faculty positions at any rank, for the In Residence and Adjunct faculty series.

The UCSF Department of Humanities and Social Sciences is a multi-disciplinary department in the School of Medicine with a strong mission in education, research, community outreach, and university service. Its faculty and students examine the historical, ethical, racial, cultural, and political conditions that impact the promises of biomedical research and health care equity. The Department provides a supportive academic environment for original research, including opportunities for collaboration with researchers from other departments and UCSF Schools, as well as teaching and mentoring as part of its graduate programs. The Department is the administrative home to the graduate program in History of Health Sciences (Master’s and PhD) and the Joint PhD Program in Medical Anthropology (with UC Berkeley). The department provides support for the campus-wide Center for Health Humanities.

IHPS is a University of California Organized Research Unit dedicated to improving the health of all through evidence-informed policy. Its researchers work across disciplines, championing improved health and better healthcare by generating, sharing, and advocating for new evidence with practitioners and policymakers who can put it to work. This work is facilitated by being based at a health sciences campus focused on graduate-level education, science, and community engagement. IHPS is the administrative home of 13 faculty and its campus-wide network includes more than 30 additional core faculty and more than 200 affiliated faculty and staff with backgrounds in anthropology, dentistry, economics, epidemiology, ethics, journalism, law, medicine, nursing, political science, public health, public policy, sociology, and other disciplines. Areas of research include patient experience and quality of care, social and commercial determinants of health, healthcare value and economics, access to care and insurance, healthcare workforce, aging and long-term care, informatics and digital health, child and adolescent health, industry influences on health, substance use and mental health, gender and reproductive health, behavioral factors and health, and environmental effects on health. Faculty teach in the Institute’s Master’s Degree in Health Policy and Law program, in degree programs in other UCSF departments, and in the UCSF professional schools. There are opportunities for teaching in programs at DHSS and IHPS, as well as other departments and schools at UCSF.

The position will be administratively based at IHPS.

Duties: The successful candidates will conduct health services and health policy research funded by extramural sources and be committed to teaching, mentoring, service, and policy translation.

Qualifications: Doctorate in sociology, anthropology, history, public health, health services research, or a related field by the time of hire, with strong training in qualitative research methods. Candidates must have a record of excellence and accomplishment appropriate for their experience conducting original research in health services, health policy, or a related field. Applicants’ materials must list current and/or pending qualifications upon submission.

Candidates must have current or recently awarded extramural funding for research in areas of interest with a proven track record of securing extramural and other self-generated funding to support their full salary. Such funding can be from NIH and AHRQ grants, including K and R series awards as well as from foundations, government contracts, collaborative agreements, and other funding sources, as appropriate given the candidate’s academic rank.

The In Residence series requires full funding and excellent teaching and service qualifications.

Preference will be given to candidates with areas of research compatible with current departmental programs and who have a demonstrated track record of independent research and associated research funding.

For positions that are 51% effort or more:
The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and step at appointment. See Table 5. The minimum base salary range for this position is $121,900 - $319,800.
