Position for a medical sociologist?
 ---------------------------------------------------------

Assistant Professor
Department of Health and Social Behavior
Havard School of Public Health

The Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Health and Social
Behavior is searching for an assistant professor in the area of the impact
of social and economic policies on health. We are particularly interested
in areas related to welfare reform, neighborhood and community
development, work/family policies and broad scale economic policies.
Candidates may have a Ph.D. or M.D. with concentrations in public policy,
social and political sciences or public health. Our focus is not on health
care policies per se but on the social and economic policies which may
have an impact on health via their influence on social conditions and
psychological sequelae of social environments. The new faculty member will
have responsibilities for teaching master's and doctoral level students
and conducting research. Candidates with broad interest areas others than
those mentioned will be given careful consideration.

Apply by sending a curriculum vitae, a short statement of research
interests and names of three references to: Chair, Search Committee,
Harvard School of Public Health, Department of Health and Social Behavior,
SPH3-302, 677 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.

Harvard University is committed to increasing the representation of women
and minority members among its faculty and particularly encourages
applications from such candidates.
