Adjunct Faculty - Department of Health Policy and Health Services Administration
Kate Marmion School of Public Health
The Kate Marmion School of Public Health ("the School") was founded in 2022 as a collaboration between The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) and The University of Texas at San Antonio, both designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions by the U.S. Department of Education. Effective September 1, 2025, the two universities merged into a single institution, now operating as The University of Texas at San Antonio. The School provides graduate-level academic instruction in public health and conducts research and community engagement activities to promote and maintain community health.
The Department of Health Policy and Health Services Administration seeks adjunct faculty with strong subject matter expertise and demonstrated teaching experience to support graduate-level instruction. The Department welcomes professionals with experience and applied knowledge in areas such as health policy assessment; access to and disparities in healthcare utilization; the economics of healthcare; health insurance and healthcare financing; health services and medical care workforce research; and health systems administration, management, and leadership at federal, state, regional, and local levels.
The Department's focus includes health policy, service, and organizational issues addressing current and emerging healthcare needs in South Texas, particularly among under-represented groups; infants', children's, and women's health; the needs of aging populations and individuals with acute and chronic conditions; the impacts of social determinants of health; and the "Triple Aim" of improving the health of populations, improving the patient experience, and reducing the costs of healthcare.
Adjunct faculty are expected to contribute to the academic curriculum through high-quality instruction, student engagement, and participation in course-related activities. Responsibilities include teaching graduate-level courses, supporting applied and experiential learning where appropriate, and engaging with students in a professional and meaningful manner. Opportunities for service or collaborative initiatives may be available based on departmental needs.
Appointments are part-time and based on instructional need. Rank and title will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

A doctoral degree in public health or a related field (or equivalent professional experience); an MPH in addition to a doctoral degree is preferred

Demonstrated expertise in health policy, health services, or healthcare administration
Experience working with under-resourced populations is desirable
Applications must be submitted through the UT Health Careers faculty recruitment site and should include:

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis based on instructional needs.
Under the leadership of its founding dean, Vasan Ramachandran, MD, DM, FACC, FAHA, the School's mission is to:
Perform meaningful scholarship that discovers, disseminates, and applies evidence-based, equity-driven, scalable solutions and policies that can be implemented in a timely manner to advance the health of the planet and its human populations, especially those that belong to historically underserved, marginalized, and vulnerable groups.
Serve public health needs and promote a culture of health and well-being locally and regionally (acting as a steward and serving as an anchor) while thinking nationally and globally.
