Position Title: Clinical Assistant Professor, Public Health Nutrition Program, School of Global Public Health

　　Location: New York, NY

　　Position Type: 3-year term faculty position (12-month appointment)

　　The Public Health Nutrition Program (PHN) at the School of Global Public Health (GPH) at New York University (NYU) is seeking applications for a non-tenure track Clinical Assistant Professor faculty position. Candidates are expected to have: (1) a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, DrPH, MD) in an area related to public health nutrition and (2) teaching experience in nutrition. The RDN credential is preferred but not required.

　　The PHN program is interested in recruiting an outstanding faculty member who will engage in teaching and enhance course offerings in the public health nutrition concentration (below); advise and mentor students; and meaningfully contribute to a range of service-related academic activities, including curriculum development, internship placement, student recruitment and admissions, and community-building. We are strongly committed to promoting diversity and supporting students, staff, and faculty from underrepresented backgrounds.

　　New York University

　　Since its founding in 1831, NYU has been an innovator in higher education. Today, it is one of the world's largest, most prominent, and highly respected research universities. NYU provides an enriching and comprehensive education to more than 65,000 students and annually undertakes $1 billion in research. It counts among its 5,000 faculty members recipients of the highest scholarly honors and the vast network of talented scholars, artists, scientists, and writers with endless opportunities for collaboration. It has a highly collaborative network of 19 schools and colleges, degree-granting programs in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, and an additional 11 global academic centers in Africa, Asia, South America, North America, and Europe.

　　The School of Global Public Health

　　Created in 2015, GPH has experienced a period of rapid growth – expanding programs, earning its accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health, and graduating its first classes of students. In April 2022, the school unveiled its new building a few blocks from Washington Square in Manhattan. The ten-story building boasts approximately 100,000 square feet of renovated space and includes key design elements (e.g., clinical research space, meeting space, secured data space, and a recording studio) to facilitate public health research, education, and practice.

　　In July 2022, GPH welcomed epidemiologist Debra Furr-Holden as Dean. Dean Furr-Holden joined GPH from Michigan State University where she held the C.S. Mott Endowed Professorship and served as associate dean for public health integration. Under Dean Furr-Holden’s leadership, GPH is focused on shaping its scholarly and programmatic identity within the field of global public health. GPH conducts research broadly across all areas of public health and will continue to develop and define its portfolio. GPH faculty are deeply engaged across NYU and include practitioners from New York’s leading public health organizations.

　　The Public Health Nutrition Concentration

　　The PHN concentration integrates research, teaching, and hands-on practice to equip its graduates with the skills needed to positively impact the health and well-being of vulnerable populations around the world. Led by interdisciplinary faculty, PHN offers an array of courses on nutritional epidemiology, food insecurity, community nutrition, clinical nutrition research, and environmental and societal factors affecting food supply and policy.

　　The PHN has five dynamic and rigorous educational paths which are: 1) in-person Master of Public Health (MPH) track that can be done either part-time or full-time; 2) fully online, asynchronous MPH; 3) combined MPH/Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD), in which graduates qualify for dietetic internships to take the Commission of Dietetic Registration exam; 4) Advanced Certificate in Public Health Nutrition comprised of five PHN courses, and 5) 4 1 BS/MPH dual degree, a joint program with NYU Steinhardt. The flexibility of each program allows students to tailor their learning to their specific interests, skill set, and career objectives. At the core of all PHN activities is an emphasis on equity and food justice, so graduates will be equipped to assume leadership roles in both local and global settings.

　　Master of Public Health

　　The MPH in Public Health Nutrition, which is offered in a full-time, part-time, or fully remote format, comprises core courses, culminating experiences, and electives. The core courses provide traditional learning in subjects such as global environmental health, epidemiology, and health care policy. The culminating experience is an internship during which students complete a minimum of 180 hours of public health service, either through an applied practice experience seminar or an integrative learning experience seminar. For the elective portion of the degree, students can select from any graduate-level courses taught at GPH given they have completed the necessary prerequisites.

　　Combined MPH/DPD

　　This program is exclusively for students seeking to become registered dietitians (RD). The DPD requirements and the associated dietetic internship are the courses needed to take the Commission on Dietetic Registration exam and become an RD. Students are not required to complete the DPD requirements and dietetic internship before enrolling in the MPH program. Rather, the combined MPH and DPD allows students to complete DPD courses while matriculated in the MPH program. The dietetic internship begins after completion of all DPD courses. This educational track is one of two programs that include courses taught at NYU GPH and NYU Steinhardt.

　　Advanced Certificate in PHN

　　This is a 15-credit track during which students complete two core concentration courses and three electives within PHN. The certificate includes credits that satisfy the MPH degree requirements, so students in the other concentrations of the MPH program may also enroll.

　　4 1 BS/MPH Program

　　The 4 1 BS/MPH program is a five-year dual-degree program during which students concurrently work toward an MPH in PHN while they earn a BS in Nutrition from NYU Steinhardt. This is an expedited program that enables students to earn both degrees, while requiring less time and lower tuition than is needed to complete each program separately. This streamlined program is for highly motivated students with aspirations of assuming leadership positions in public health nutrition settings that require a systemic approach to addressing health disparities. In January 2024, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will adopt a minimum requirement of a master’s degree for entry-level registered dietitians. Therefore, this program is expected to be in high demand in the coming years because it will allow students to achieve their goals of being an RD in a shorter amount of time.
