Overview
The University of Washington Schools of Medicine and Public Health are seeking a Chair of the Department of Global Health that bridges these two schools. The leader of the Department of Global Health is expected to support the mission of improving health for all through research, education, training, and service; to understand and address the causes of disease and health inequities at multiple levels; and to collaborate with partners to develop and sustain locally led, quality health systems, programs, and policies. Leading a group of dedicated faculty, staff and students, the Chair will model the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, anti-racism, and the de-colonialization of global health through their research, teaching, mentoring, practice, and service. The Chair will be expected to support the continued evolution of the department, and embrace the core values of excellence, social justice and equity, diversity, collaboration, interdisciplinary approaches, global partnerships, and integrity.
