Location: Brownsville, Texas, USA
The University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) announces a
search for one of its most important positions, Regional Dean,
Brownsville Regional Campus. We seek a senior
faculty member who possesses an outstanding academic record in public
health, demonstrated excellence in administration, and public health
leadership qualities. Regional Deans are important leadership positions
within UTSPH, a School unique for its multiple campus structure.
Brownsville is located in a critical border region of Texas which is
dominated by a Hispanic population; the value of the outstanding
community relationships and partnerships that the School has developed
is something we would hope a new Regional Dean would embrace. The
selected applicant will occupy a tenure-track position at the associate
or full professor level, will affiliate with a UTSPH division
(Epidemiology, Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences; Health
Promotion and Behavioral Sciences; Management, Policy and Community
Health; or Biostatistics), and would be welcome to join any of the UTSPH
research centers (for example, Human Genetics Center, Center for Health
Promotion and Prevention Research, Michael & Susan Dell Center for
Healthy Living, Hispanic Health Research Center of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, and the George McMillan Fleming Center for Healthcare
Management). UTSPH seeks to employ a diverse and dynamic faculty who
understand the importance of our mission and vision. The Regional Dean
works closely in collaboration with the Brownsville community to develop
an excellent public health academic and research program. Applicants
for the position of Regional Dean, Brownsville Campus should welcome
opportunities to work with the local community in advancing the UTSPH
public health mission and improving the health of the community.
Bilingual candidates, minorities, and women are strongly urged to apply.
UTSPH is a dynamic, top-tier school that is making public health happen
locally, nationally and internationally. Our extensive, high quality
research and educational programs have grown significantly in recent
years. UTSPH currently has approximately 160 faculty members and 1400
students. The main campus in Houston is an integral part of The
University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), located
in the world-renowned Texas Medical Center, which comprises the largest
concentration of healthcare institutions in the world. The five
regional campuses are located strategically throughout Texas (Austin,
Brownsville, Dallas, El Paso and San Antonio) and offer master’s and
doctoral degrees. Each regional campus works in collaboration with a
local University of Texas System institution. In Brownsville this
partner is UT Brownsville but new partnerships including research and
teaching collaborations are currently being developed with other health
and academic campuses in the South Border region through a program
funded by the UT System. The rich potential for collaboration at UTSPH
and its partner and neighbor institutions as well as the diversity of
the Texas population provide innumerable resources for innovative public
health science. As a part of the UTSPH six-campus system, the
Brownsville Regional Campus currently offers the MPH (Generalist and
Health Promotion), DrPH (Health Promotion), and PhD (Epidemiology).
Beginning in Fall 2012, the campus will also offer a 4+1 program in
which students at UT Brownsville will be able to begin their graduate
work towards an MPH degree as seniors.
The Brownsville Regional Campus currently has nine full-time faculty
members and houses the National Institutes of Health-supported Hispanic
Health Research Center of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The Center is
home to the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort, a unique, ‘Framingham like’
cohort focusing on health disparities among Mexican Americans. This
cohort includes an extensive database and biological and genetic archive
that serves a broad research agenda, particularly for diabetes and
related conditions. The Center has provided the basis for extensive
community outreach and community-based intervention research on diabetes
and obesity in the South Texas region. It has generated community
support and interdisciplinary collaborations with the UTHealth School of
Medicine, within the UT System and elsewhere including clinical trials
using the HHRC Clinical Research Unit. As part of UTHealth’s
successfully refunded Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences
(one of the first 12 awardees from National Institutes of Health
National Center for Research Resources), the Brownsville campus has many
active high-interest research programs evaluating health problems in
this Hispanic community. The Brownsville program also works with global
sites to provide a model for studies in the newly emerging area of
interactions between chronic and infectious diseases. The Regional
Campus facility at Brownsville is a large, modern space including a 6000
square foot laboratory with a BSL-3 state-of-the-art laboratory,
allowing for population-based biological investigations. The campus is
linked to all other UTSPH campuses through a sophisticated interactive
television network for teaching, meetings and communications.

Overview
The RAND Postdoctoral Training Program in the Study of Aging enables
outstanding junior scholars in demographic and aging research to sharpen
their analytic skills, learn to communicate research results
effectively, and advance their research agenda. Housed within RAND Labor
and Population, the program blends formal and informal training and
extensive collaboration with distinguished researchers in a variety of
disciplines. Fellowships are for one year, renewable for a second. Each
fellow receives a competitive annual stipend, travel stipend and health
insurance.
Fellows must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and must have
completed a Ph.D. (or its equivalent) in a relevant discipline before
they begin the program. The RAND Fellows program is open to new scholars
in the field of demographic and aging research, as well as individuals
who already have research experience on these topics. For example, in
some cases, fellows are on leave from an academic position so they can
engage in research and writing full time, and extend their research
agenda and funding base.
The Program gives Fellows a great opportunity to jump-start their
research careers. After completing the program, RAND Fellows have taken
positions at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, University of
Virginia, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of
Minnesota, Johns Hopkins University, SUNY Stony Brook, the World Bank,
and CDC, for example.
Advantages of the RAND Environment
RAND provides a distinctive environment for fellows in the program.
- RAND’s primary activity is research. The environment provides a rich variety of ongoing studies and an experienced staff of professional researchers with whom fellows can collaborate. The fellows also have the opportunity to interact with other scholars at RAND. In addition, each fellow will design and pursue an individual research program.
- RAND projects are typically interdisciplinary, bringing together, for example, economists, sociologists, psychologists, statisticians, and health professionals. Thus fellows can collaborate on research projects already under way that link population studies and aging research to other areas.
- RAND’s research in population and aging is distinguished by its scholarly orientation and by the productivity of its staff. The value and visibility assigned to publications increase the likelihood that fellows will produce scholarly articles, either individually or in collaboration with RAND staff.
- Fellows have full access to RAND’s research facilities. These include state-of-the-art computer hardware and software, a nationally acclaimed library, an extensive data facility that obtains and maintains research data bases, and special consulting and training services in computing, statistical analysis, and written and oral presentations.
Structure of the Program
Each fellow, in regular consultation with a staff adviser, will design a
program that reflects his or her research needs and interests, and stage
in their research career.
Formal Training. When appropriate, fellows may choose from a wide range
of substantive and methodological courses in policy analysis offered by
the Pardee RAND Graduate School. These include statistics, econometric
methods, social science research methods, health policy analysis, and a
number of other courses in applied policy analysis. In addition, members
of the RAND Statistics Group, who have doctorates in statistics, offer a
series of short courses on current topics of interest. Examples of
recent courses include survival analysis, general linear models,
regression diagnostics, and the analysis of cluster-sampled data.
Fellows also enhance their experience in preparing and using large data
bases. In addition, fellows can sharpen their communications skills by
taking advantage of classes in effective writing and briefing for
scientific and policy audiences.
Collaboration and Informal Training. Fellows benefit not only from
formal education opportunities, but also from the opportunity to
collaborate closely with senior researchers. The Research Profile of
Training Staff (see below) shows the exceptionally broad analytic
interests of the RAND staff. Typically, fellows work on two or three
projects each year, including ongoing studies in collaboration with RAND
researchers and studies of his or her own design.
Fellows broaden their informal interaction with the research staff by
participating in several seminar series on topics concerning population
and aging offered at RAND, at the University of California at Los
Angeles, and at the University of Southern California.
Developing a Research Agenda. An important goal of the program is to
help fellows enhance their careers as independent researchers. Staff
advisers will mentor fellows in the preparation of presentations for
professional meetings and papers for journal publication. In addition,
fellows will be encouraged to design and submit a proposal for a
research project to be conducted after leaving RAND. Fellows can sharpen
the skills vital to preparing a successful proposal by drawing on the
experience of senior staff and by taking advantage of classes on writing
effective proposals.
Research Profile of Training Staff
The training staff includes both members of RAND’s permanent staff and
academic consultants. The former are always available to fellows; the
latter, who spend from several weeks to several months at RAND each
year, enrich the training environment and extend the valuable informal
scholarly network to which fellows have access.
The director of the Program in the Study of Aging is Nicole Maestas.

The two-year programme will consist of three rotations in different
parts of the Novo Nordisk organisation whilst anchored in the Health
Economics skill area within Global Development. The aim of the Health
Economics Graduate Programme is to develop people through extensive
practical health economic work with a strong focus on competencies such
as analytical skills, communication, and project management skills.
What you’ll be doing
You will be given a broad range of responsibilities and experience a
variety of projects from cross-departmental project work and stakeholder
management and have assignments within identification of needs, specific
analyses, reporting and potential publication of major findings.
You will get a unique insight into the full global development value
chain of Novo Nordisk, and you will be part of a highly skilled and
motivated international working environment, with dynamic teams, each of
which are providing Novo Nordisk with a competitive edge and driving
state of the art drug development.
Whilst taking on a broad variety of responsibilities, you will enjoy the
privilege of being part of both formal and informal graduate networks.
This will allow you to broaden your learning even further, while
building your opportunities and relationships across the company.
Scope of the programme
The Health Economics Graduate Programme is tailored to ensure your full
personal and professional development, accelerated by prioritised
training and dedicated coaching from experienced colleagues.
The programme comprises three rotations during a two-year period. The
first rotation will be in the Health Economics and HTA department, HQ in
Denmark. The main purpose of this rotation is an introduction to the
department’s areas of responsibilities and at least one of our key
projects, and to gain hands-on experience e.g. assisting experienced
staff in developing health economic strategies.
In the second rotation we normally send the graduate to one of our
affiliates like USA, UK, China, or other. This will give the graduate
insight into health economics work from a local perspective related to
use and communication of results to external stakeholders and a better
understanding of the collaboration between Novo Nordisk headquarter and
local markets.
The third rotation will most likely take place in Novo Nordisk
headquarter in a department with ties to Health Economics. Possible
areas could be Global Stakeholder Engagement or Global Marketing. This
will help build your network and showcase the importance of health
economics within other areas in drug development and drug
commercialisation.
Requirements
You are a top M.Sc. graduate with a degree in health economics,
economics, public health, pharmaceutical/medical sciences, or other
relevant fields. You have an international profile and a passion for
learning. You are independent, flexible and efficient with a ‘can-do’
attitude. You have a high level of understanding of the practical
implications of conducting health economics research. At the
cutting-edge of a highly complex and innovative industry, you’ll also
need to be good at cross functional collaboration, and have the ability
to communicate your great ideas well. You must be prepared to invest
significant personal effort to meet the expectations and you should
proactively take ownership of your areas of responsibility.
