The MCNHS Department of Nursing invites applicants to join our diverse college as a tenure-track or tenured faculty member beginning September 1, 2022. Rank, tenure and salary are dependent on qualifications and experience. Research experience for all ranks is required and an established program of research with evidence of external funding is required for tenure consideration. Applicants must possess an earned research doctorate in nursing or a related field, with strong preference to those eligible for RN licensure in Massachusetts. Preference will be given to applicants with funded research and peer-reviewed data-based publications focused on health equity, mental health or adult health. Teaching, mentoring and leadership experience in higher education is preferred; experience in other settings will be considered. We are particularly interested in faculty with leadership experience who will strengthen our initiatives in adult health, psychiatric mental health, and who are committed to teaching a diverse student population in an urban setting. Our faculty needs are across our graduate and undergraduate programs in nursing. Our programs focus on health in urban populations of all ages and target improving health equity in populations at risk for healthcare disparities.

The Manning College of Nursing and Health Sciences offers strong support and mentoring for faculty, including grant proposal preparation and submission, and post-award support. The College offers a wide range of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborative research opportunities. Current faculty collaborations include those with numerous major academic and medical institutions in and around Boston, including the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, Children’s Hospital, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and many community, public, and private health care agencies. The National Cancer Institute funds the University of Massachusetts Boston-Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center grant (https://umb-dfhcc.org/); this longstanding collaboration has enabled faculty at both institutions to strengthen and extend partnerships for research, PhD training, and community outreach.

The BS, MS, and DNP nursing programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The MS and DNP programs focus on preparation of Family Nurse Practitioners, Adult/Gerontological Nurse Practitioners, and Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialists. The PhD in nursing program focuses on population health and health policy.

The positions will remain open until filled. UMass Boston is committed to being an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer and recognizes the power of a diverse community. We strongly encourage applications from racial minorities, protected veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those with varied experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds to consider UMass Boston as their employer of choice.

To apply, submit a letter of interest and curriculum vitae.
