THE UAMS FAY W. BOOZMAN COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH invites applications for one tenure-track position at the Assistant to Associate Professor level. Individuals with strong research expertise and interest in developing a career as a funded investigator are particularly encouraged to apply. The primary content area for the position is to conduct research on tobacco addiction mechanisms and its treatment, prevention and/or policy implications.  Experience in behavioral economics and/or contingency management is also considered desirable.   This position is to serve as a member of the Center for the Study of Tobacco Addiction.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree in one of the relevant psychological, social, health, policy or management sciences. A strong record of research publications with either a record of extramural funding, or evidence of the ability to develop such a record are also required.  Experience in teaching at the graduate level and engaging in research translation and public service is also highly desirable. Successful applicants will become part of a recently-established but rapidly-growing college with a public mandate to conduct education and research supporting health improvement.

The fully accredited College of Public Health was created in 2001 with a portion of the state’s tobacco settlement funds. The College enjoys close relationships with the state’s health and human service agencies and the UAMS Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Health Related Professions.  Opportunities for collaboration also exist with the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, UAMS Clinical and Translational Research Center, Clinton School of Public Service and with the business and law schools and other academic units within the University of Arkansas system.  Salary and benefits are competitive and include a generous research incentive program.
