Job Info


Valparaiso University College of Nursing and Health Professions invites applications for a Program Director for Health Care Leadership faculty position. Valparaiso University ("Valpo"), a community of learning grounded in the Lutheran tradition of scholarship, freedom, and faith, prepares students to lead and serve both church and society. Located one hour southeast of Chicago on a 310-acre campus, Valpo is a comprehensive university with an enrollment in undergraduate and graduate programs. Valpo is consistently recognized as one of the best private universities in the Midwest and is located in Valparaiso, Indiana, a county seat of 30,000 residents with high quality schools and an active social community.

This position is a full time, 9-month appointment, beginning August 2023. The responsibilities of this position include curriculum maintenance, recruitment, advising, teaching undergraduate courses in the Health Care Leadership (HCL) and Health Science (HS) programs, and possibly in Interprofessional Education (IPE) and the graduate Master of Health Administration program. Additional responsibilities will include working collaboratively with faculty and leadership within the CONHP and the university; working with students either individually or in groups, depending on the need; providing service to the university, profession, and the practice community; and developing a research and scholarly agenda of contributions to the field. This position is announced at the assistant professor level, and could be on the tenure or non-tenure track. Outstanding candidates could be considered at a higher rank with multiple years of teaching experience, an established research agenda, and scholarly accomplishments.

The preferred candidate will hold a doctorate or working towards one in a health-related field; have some experience teaching, and will have clinical experience working in a health care environment that includes leadership or administration.

Candidates should be interested in working at a university engaged in issues in Christian higher education in the Lutheran tradition. The College of Nursing and Health Professions has programs in nursing (BSN, MSN, and DNP), health care leadership (BSHCL), health administration (MHA), public health (BSPH and MPH), and physician assistant studies (BSHS and MPA), and occupational therapy (DrOT, OTD).

As a campus with an increasingly diverse student body, we encourage applications from individuals with a commitment to mentoring students from underrepresented communities. Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, scholarship statement, transcripts and contact information for three references to Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/121428. In your cover letter, please include brief statements of (a) how you might contribute to the university's distinctive mission, and (b) what experiences you have had which will enable you to mentor a diverse student body. Candidates who submit names of references should expect that the search committee will contact these references, in confidence, and that credentials will be confirmed prior to hire. Employment will require a satisfactory criminal background check. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. For specific questions or additional information about the search, contact Dr. Phrosini Samis-Smith at 219.464.5295 or phrosini.samissmith@valpo.edu.
