Candidates will be expected to participate in and advance the department’s vibrant health systems research and education agenda. We welcome a wide range of research areas and methodological approaches. Examples of research that would be welcome include, but are not limited to those that address fundamental questions about the optimal mix of government and the market in financing and organizing health systems and how this affects equity and efficiency; how digital technologies affect health care delivery and the potential impact on access, cost, and quality; and how to transform the acute care-based, fragmented delivery systems that prevail in many countries into population-based, integrated delivery systems that prioritize primary care. A successful candidate will be expected to actively participate in the School’s health systems education program, including teaching and advising both doctoral and master-level students with diverse backgrounds. A successful candidate will be encouraged to participate in executive training such as the Harvard Ministerial Leadership Program , the Harvard China Health Partnership and other executive training with global reach.
