communities – the ideal candidate would be a health policy or planning
expert who can build intellectual bridges between a public health program

response and disaster preparedness, health or health care differentials as
they relate to urban planning, policy, design, or allied regional or
community-level attributes, among others. The position offers a unique
opportunity to leverage the resources of programs in urban and regional
planning, policy, and design, and in public health.
Applicants should possess a
doctoral degree in urban and regional planning, public health, environmental
