The capacity to teach effectively in ethics and population health, to advise and mentor graduate students and junior faculty within a diverse, multidisciplinary department, and to contribute expertise in normative ethics to collaborative research, service, and teaching are also priorities. The Department and School will look to the successful candidate to extend and develop ethics as a field of scholarship within population health sciences.
