The University of Utah School of Medicine’s Health System Innovation and Research Division seeks applicants for a tenure track or tenured faculty position (open rank) in behavioral economics. We are looking for collaborative colleagues with a strong record or potential of independent scholarship. Scholarship that advances methodologies and demonstrates novel applications of behavioral economics principles and concepts to the study of population health and health systems is desired. The applicant should demonstrate willingness to support collaboration in implementation science, clinical research, and patient-oriented or community-based participatory research.

Applicants should have experience or strong interest in interdisciplinary team science in collaboration with health services researchers, social scientists, clinicians, and other disciplines. Mid- to late-career applicants should demonstrate a strong record of extramural funding and mentorship of early career faculty and doctoral students. Applicants should demonstrate commitment to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion in their research team, institution, and community. Applicants from communities traditionally underrepresented in higher education and the health sciences are especially encouraged to apply. Applications will be evaluated based on applicant’s career stage.
