DEAN, SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Brown University invites innovative, experienced, and highly collaborative leaders to apply for the position of Dean of the School of Public Health. The next dean will have the unique opportunity to build and shape a dynamic new school. The Dean provides strategic vision, intellectual leadership and administrative oversight to all aspects of the School, and advances and promotes the School’s mission of academic excellence in education, research, and civic engagement. 

About the School of Public Health:  Brown’s Public Health Program became the Brown University School of Public Health in July 2013 and was accredited by CEPH in 2016. The School is the natural evolution of ten years of growth in education and in research, with more than 200 faculty and 275 undergraduate and graduate students. Reporting directly to the university provost, the dean oversees the School’s four departments, twelve research centers, five Master’s programs, four Doctoral programs, and an undergraduate concentration. The School’s mission is to educate future public health leaders, discover and communicate innovative approaches to address public health challenges, and to enhance population health and well-being. The School plays a central role in Brown’s strategic plan, Building on Distinction, which has identified “Deciphering Disease and Improving Population Health” as a major area of investment in the coming decade. This investment is reflected in the priorities of the University’s current $3 billion comprehensive campaign, BrownTogether. The School is ideally positioned to take advantage of this investment by building upon an exceptionally productive and collaborative faculty body, thriving departments, and nationally renowned research centers. The School has particular strengths in research and training on aging, alcohol and other substance use, child health, environmental epidemiology, evidence-based medicine, global health, health equity research, HIV/AIDS, and statistical sciences. The size of the School facilitates students and faculty working collaboratively with colleagues across programs, centers, and departments. With close ties to the Warren Alpert Medical School, the University, and the wider community, students benefit from substantial opportunities to gain and apply knowledge, while faculty put their findings into practice to impact local, state, and national policy.
