Multiple Research-Intensive Associate/Full Professor Tenure System Positions and an 1855 Professorship
Michigan State University
Flint, Michigan, United States
The College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications for multiple tenured, full-time research faculty positions within the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health in Flint, Michigan.
Backed by a $25 million gift from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, MSU offers large or fully guaranteed salary coverage for researchers relocating substantial external funding portfolios. Highly accomplished senior faculty may also qualify for the C. S. Mott Endowed Professor of Public Health named professorship.
About the Department and Community
Founded in 2011 through a unique proposal from Flint-area hospitals and community members, the department operates on an unprecedented community-partnered model. As the first academic department to be co-developed and co-governed in partnership with the communities it serves, local citizens actively shape governance, focus areas, and serve on faculty hiring committees.
Flint is a historic hub for community-based participatory research. This community-partnered approach has driven the Department’s external funding (over $500M since beginning in 2015) and real-world impact. Featured current projects include two NIH-funded Centers (focused on maternal health equity and suicide prevention) and Rx Kids, the nation’s first universal cash prescription program for infants and expectant mothers.
Multiple Research-Intensive Associate/Full Professor Tenure System Positions
MSU is seeking exceptional mid- to advanced-career investigators with innovative research portfolios and a history of external funding to join our energetic, mission-driven Department. Positions are 80-90% research effort. Public health issues of high importance originally identified by the Flint community include health equity; social determinants of health (violence, safety, the built environment, education, employment); behavioral health (mental health and substance use); healthy behaviors (including screening/prevention); and chronic disease. Recent events have also highlighted maternal and child health and environmental justice. Primary research methodologies are action-oriented: implementation science (including sustainment), dissemination and communication, intervention and services research, and research to change health policy.

About Michigan State University
Michigan State University (Michigan State or MSU) is a public land-grant research university in East Lansing, Michigan. It was founded in 1855 as the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan, the first of its kind in the United States.[8][9][10] After the introduction of the Morrill Act in 1862, the state designated the college a land-grant institution in 1863, making it the first of the land-grant colleges in the United States. The college became coeducational in 1870. Today, Michigan State has rapidly expanded its footprint across the state of Michigan with facilities all across the state and one of the largest collegiate alumni networks with 634,000 members.
