Department Statement
The Department of Global Health recognizes that disparities in health around the globe stem from inequity. The Department encourages and supports the multiple identities of staff, faculty and students including, but not limited to, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, culture, spiritual practice, geography, mental and physical disability and age. The Department strives to become a local, national, and international leader in developing and maintaining increased representation and recognition of each of these dimensions of diversity among its faculty, staff, and students.

POSITION PURPOSE
The Department of Global Health has an outstanding opportunity for an Academic Advisor (Counseling Services Coordinator (E S 8)) to oversee program operations for two of its three doctoral programs: a PhD in Global Health Metrics & Implementation Science (research doctorate), and the Doctor of Global Health Leadership and Practice (DrGH) (practice doctorate). This is a 1.0 FTE position within the Department of Global Health’s Academic Programs. This position will have the flexibility to work offsite with time spent on campus in the Hans Rosling Center for Population Health also required.

The position reports to the Assistant Director for Student Services and works closely with the program’s faculty directors and other student services staff within the Department, Schools of Public Health and Medicine, and other units on campus.

The PhD in Global Health Metrics and Implementation Science is a unique, interdisciplinary program jointly administrated by the Department of Global Health (Implementation Science focus) and the School of Medicine’s Department of Health Metrics Sciences (Metrics focus). Advising staff from both departments collaborate to manage the program.

The Doctor of Global Health Leadership and Practice (DrGH) is a new program (the second cohort will be entering in Autumn 2022), and unique as a practice-focused doctoral program. The Program Manager will be instrumental in working with the program director and program faculty and students to continue to build-out the program.

The Academic Advisor is responsible for overall program operations, managing recruitment and admissions, student advising, and program operations for both programs.  Both programs enroll a number of international students, and many students (both domestic and international) conduct the majority of their studies off site, many outside the USA.  The following lists position responsibilities, which include, but are not limited to:
