multiple tenured, full-time research faculty positions within the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health in Flint, Michigan.

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.
