Director, Center for Public Health & Professor of Clinical
Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation's best urban public research universities. Home to 53,235 students, nearly 12,000 faculty and staff and 350,000+ living alumni, UC combines a Top 35 public research university with a physical setting The New York Times has called "the most ambitious campus design program in the country."

Job Overview The University of Cincinnati (UC) seeks a leader to serve as the Inaugural Director of the newly formed Center for Public Health. The Director will play a pivotal role in establishing and leading the Center during a critical growth phase. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of public health at UC, guiding program development, faculty recruitment, interdisciplinary collaboration, and strategic growth across a complex academic environment.
Public health at the University of Cincinnati is a dynamic, interdisciplinary field that spans across the College of Medicine, College of Education, Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Information Technology. There are also a growing number of embedded concentrations and dual degree programs and initiatives spanning multiple colleges university wide.

The Center serves as a central hub that eliminates fragmented efforts, streamlines decision-making, and fosters synergy among stakeholders. It will create a strong, cohesive identity for public health at UC, enhancing internal coordination, community engagement, institutional visibility, and national competitiveness.

The Director will report directly to the Executive Vice President for Health Affairs and work closely with leadership across UC's colleges and administrative units. The ideal candidate will bring a visionary yet pragmatic approach to leadership, with a proven track record in managing educational programs in a matrixed academic or public health environment.
