From the Upstate to the Low country, the University of South Carolina system is transforming the lives of South Carolinians through the impact of our eight institutions and 20 locations throughout the state. More than 50,000 students are enrolled at one of eight institutions, including the research campus in Columbia and comprehensive four‑year universities in Aiken, Upstate and Beaufort. In addition, our Palmetto College campuses in Salkehatchie, Union, Lancaster and Sumter enable students to earn associate or bachelor’s degrees through a combination of in‑person, online or blended learning.

All of our system institutions place strong emphasis on service — helping to build healthier, more educated communities in South Carolina and beyond.

The University of South Carolina is committed to equal opportunity and proudly values the skills and experience military veterans bring to our workforce. Across South Carolina, we are making veterans a priority for employment and recognize their vital contributions to our state and our communities.

The Department of Health Promotion, Education, and Behavior (HPEB) at the University of South Carolina (USC) Arnold School of Public Health invites applications for a tenure‑track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Full Professor. This position is part of the campus‑wide Environmental Health Cluster Initiative, a strategic effort to expand the University’s leadership in advancing research, clinical care, and educational excellence in environmental health.

The cluster will broaden expertise across disciplines to foster innovation and address the complexity of environmental health challenges through multidisciplinary scholarship. This initiative focuses on the impact of chemical, physical, behavioral, biological, and social environmental stressors across the lifespan, and emphasizes designing, testing, and scaling programmatic and policy interventions that address these stressors.

We seek an Implementation Science Scholar whose research focuses on learning how to improve the implementation of interventions that will reduce environmental stressors on health in real‑world settings.

The Department of Health Promotion, Education, and Behavior emphasizes both impactful research and meaningful community engagement. Faculty examine how policy, environmental, institutional, and individual actions influence health, and work collaboratively to reduce health disparities. Many HPEB faculty are engaged in implementation science, community‑based research, and translation of interventions into practice and policy, making this position well aligned with departmental strengths. USC also provides a rich interdisciplinary environment, with faculty across the Arnold School and campus contributing to initiatives such as the Global Health Initiative, Nutrition Consortium, Prevention Research Center, Office for the Study of Aging, Consortium for Latino Health Studies, Big Data Health Science Center, and Smart State Centers.

The University has been designated by the Carnegie Foundation as a “doctoral institution with highest research activity” and a “community‑engaged institution.”

The successful candidate will be expected to develop a robust, extramurally funded research program in implementation science applied to environmental health, to contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching (in‑person and online), and to mentor master’s and doctoral students. The candidate will also be expected to collaborate across disciplines, especially within the Environmental Health Cluster, to accelerate solutions that improve…
