1855 Associate/Full Professor-Tenure System

Michigan State University(MSU) • Flint, MI • 2h ago

Working/Functional Title

1855 Associate/Full Professor

Position Summary

The College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications for an 1855 Professorship (a tenured full-time research positions at the Associate or Full Professor level) in the highly prolific and rapidly growing Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health in Flint, Michigan. This 1855 Professorship offers a unique opportunity for an established researcher who seeks to continue their highly impactful, community engaged health equity research to drive change in areas both relevant to Flint and widely applicable. These include increasing equity in social determinants of health, behavioral health, healthy behaviors, chronic disease, maternal-child health, and environmental justice, among others. A $25 million gift from the Flint-based Charles Stewart Mott Foundation allows us to largely or fully guarantee salary coverage for researchers who are willing to move their substantial research portfolios to MSU.

This open position is supported by the MSU Provost's 1855 Professorships initiative that seeks to elevate the academic quality and reputation at MSU. The new faculty member will be expected to contribute to the multidisciplinary "Science for Community Impact" cluster of researchers who conduct translational science with marginalized communities using community engaged, equity focused partnerships.

An innovative premise. Located in Flint, Michigan, the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health seeks to build on strong and energetic growth in research. Flint has a long history of community activism and involvement. It is one of the birthplaces of community-based participatory research (CBPR) and includes nationally recognized community pioneers and citizen scientists. For example, the first community representative to be President of the American Public Health Association in its 100+ year history, beginning her term in 2023, is a member of the Flint community. In 2011, the Flint community (including Flint-area hospitals) approached MSU with a proposal to create an academic Department of Public Health in Flint. Their idea was that the department would improve health through community-identified public health solutions, provide an economic driver for Flint, and lead the nation in health equity informed policy change. MSU agreed and took an unprecedented community-participatory approach, building the Flint community into the Department and its governance, including focus areas, priorities, and faculty to hire. Through 1000+ surveys and more than 100 interviews, community members identified the top public health needs of Flint, providing the areas of focus for the new unit, which began as a Division in 2015. Community members make up and continue to make up much of the faculty search committee tasked with hiring the best public health researchers in the country to address these issues.

This radical experiment in community-partnered departmental administration has been wildly successful both in funding and in real-world impact. Departmental faculty have obtained over $175 million in extramural funding. Among its many projects, the Department currently includes two NIH-funded Centers (one in maternal health equity and the other in suicide prevention) and the first city-wide unconditional and universal cash prescription program for pregnant/postpartum people and infants. What began as a Division in 2015 became a Department in 2022, spurring a new phase of growth and development.
