The Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health invites nominations and applications for the open rank, tenure track, faculty position in Health Policy and Management. Georgia Southern University (www.georgiasouthern.edu), a member institution of the University System of Georgia and a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University, is one of Georgia’s premier universities. A residential university serving 18,000 students in fall 2009, Georgia Southern is recognized for providing all of the benefits of a major university with the feeling of a much smaller college. Founded in 1906, the University offers more than 100 campus-based and online degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels through eight colleges. The nearly 700 acre park-like campus is located in Statesboro, a classic Main Street community near historic Savannah and Hilton Head Island.

On January 14, 2004, the Board of Regents established the first School of Public Health in the University System of Georgia and named it the Jiann-Ping Hsu School of Public Health. The establishment of the School was made possible by a generous gift from Dr. Karl E. Peace, in memory and honor of his wife, Dr. Jiann-Ping Hsu. In order to position the Jiann-Ping Hsu School of Public Health for accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the School was transitioned to the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health (JPHCOPH) effective January 1, 2006. Our mission is to invest the necessary resources to build an outstanding College of Public Health that will be recognized nationally for teaching, research, and service. Justification for selection of a College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University is directly related to the potential impact this institution will have among rural and underserved residents of the state.
