The Department of Medicine, Health, and Society (MHS) at Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Medicine, Health, and Society to begin Fall 2025. This position will be associated with the interdisciplinary Center for Research on Inequality and Health, but the tenure home for this position will be in the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society.

Vanderbilt University, MHS, and the Vanderbilt Center for Research on Inequality and Health are home to a strong network of interdisciplinary health researchers. There are additional collaboration opportunities through the nationally recognized Vanderbilt LGBTQ Policy Lab, a unique interdisciplinary unit focused on LGBTQ health and policies.

Vanderbilt expects excellence in research and teaching. Ph.D. is required by August 1, 2025.
