Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY
The Cornell Jeb E. Brooks
School of Public Policy (Brooks School) invites applications for Director of
the Sloan Program in Health Administration, which offers a master’s degree in
health administration (MHA). The successful candidate will join the faculty of
the Brooks School in the rank of tenured associate or full professor starting
July 1, 2023. After working closely with
the current Sloan Director during the 2023-2024 academic year, the successful
candidate will assume the Director position on July 1, 2024 and become
responsible for directing all aspects of the Sloan Program.
The mission of the Sloan
Program is to provide highly-motivated, talented recent college graduates
enrolled in the residential Master of Health Administration (MHA) program and experienced
health care professionals enrolled in the Executive Master of Health
Administration (EMHA) program with a health care business management and
leadership curriculum that allows them to develop the skills and knowledge
needed to become a leader in the health care field. The two-year,
residential MHA program requires 60-credits, whereas the 18-month, hybrid (80%
online) EMHA degree program requires 37 credits and attracts working
professionals. The Sloan Program typically enrolls 25 to 35 students in each
residential cohort and 40 to 50 in each executive cohort. It is currently ranked 9th among
graduate programs offering the MHA degree
The director is responsible
for overseeing both the MHA and EMHA programs including ensuring that the
curriculum provides students with opportunities to develop the skills necessary
to excel as a health care manager and leader. It also involves identifying
tenure track faculty and recruiting adjunct faculty who can teach the required
courses effectively. The director will also teach required or elective courses
in the program, work closely with the Brooks School Alumni Affairs and
Development to manage relationships with alumni and donors, manage the CAHME
accreditation process, and lead efforts to enhance the program’s standing among
MHA programs. The director will work with Brooks School admissions staff to
manage the annual admissions process and with career services staff to help
place students in internships and full-time positions. The director will lead
ongoing efforts to raise the visibility of the Sloan Program within the health
care professional community by attending ACHE and AUPHA meetings and
interacting with local, state and national health care institutions, and
exploring opportunities for collaborating with other Cornell units, including
the Nolan School of Hotel Administration, Weill Cornell, the SC Johnson College
of Business, and others.
The Brooks School was
launched in fall 2021 to advance policy solutions to the most pressing societal
problems. The new school brings together the university’s wide-ranging
expertise in policy and management research, teaching, and public engagement
into a shared academic home. Various established policy and management-focused
institutes and programs from across the university are aligning with the school
and multiple undergraduate, professional masters, and doctoral degrees are
offered.
The successful candidate will
join the Brooks School at the rank of tenured associate or full professor. A strong background in health care management
and financing research, the ability to teach graduate-level courses, and the
capacity to work with interdisciplinary groups is essential.
