Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health at Texas A&M University invites applications for up to two tenure-track or tenured faculty appointments in the field of health economics. The positions are open rank, with a preference for candidates who qualify for an appointment at the associate professor or professor level for one of the appointments.


These positions require candidates with strong research skills and excellent teaching ability. Successful candidates are expected to conduct independent and collaborative research, obtain extramural funding, maintain a robust publication record, and contribute to the Department’s educational programs. Additionally, these positions require the ability to work well with multi-disciplinary teams.


Faculty enjoy 9-month appointments that are fully funded (“hard money”), with effort typically allocated to research (50%), teaching (40%), and service (10%) responsibilities. The standard teaching load is four classes per academic year, with options for reduced teaching loads and/or additional (Summer) salary for faculty with extramural research funding.


We seek candidates conducting innovative research in any area of health economics, but preference will be given to candidates with research interests in healthcare financing and health insurance, aging and long-term care, population health, or pharmaceutical economics and technology value assessment.


Faculty rank will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate(s). For candidates seeking a senior-level appointment, a track record of mentoring doctoral students and junior faculty and obtaining extramural funding is especially desirable.
