Position Summary

Morehouse School of Medicine invites nominations, inquiries, and applications for The Satcher Health Leadership Institute's ( SHLI ) next Executive Director. The Institute was founded in 2006 by the 16th US Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, who set it firmly on its course to be a leading transformative force for global health equity. SHLI seeks a visionary who will embody the Institute's values and seeks to make a lasting contribution to enhancing health equity and ultimately eliminating health disparities.

Guided by the values and principles of diversity, integrity, trustworthiness, consensus building, prevention as a priority, and equal access to quality health care for all persons, SHLI has established multi-disciplinary research, innovative community-based programs, and strategies for informing health policy solutions.

Satcher Health Leadership Institute is unique because of three core concepts that are not central to other health leadership institutes. Specifically, SHLI prioritizes approaches to contribute to the elimination of health disparities by encouraging leadership among underrepresented minorities; working to develop replicable standards and strategies in health leadership; and promoting and fostering a diverse and inclusive health leadership network. The Institute is supported by a myriad of partners and collaborators that help to bolster our sustainability and success.

The Executive Director will come at a pivotal point in SHLI's evolution. The Executive Director will help expand the Institute's endowment, broaden its research and programs, work towards a global health equity agenda, and work in alignment with the new Global Health Equity Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine. MSM is among the nation's leading educators of primary care physicians and has been recognized as the top institution among US medical schools for its social mission. Faculty and alumni are noted in their fields for excellence in teaching, research, and public policy.

The ideal candidate will be a preeminent scholar, clinician, and/or practitioner in population health with a long track record of advancing health equity. Those with a broad background that has covered academia, health policy and practice, and a commitment to community engagement will be highly sought by the search committee. Candidates must be able to represent SHLI on an international stage and advance the institute's mission, which includes securing extramural funding and philanthropic support. A terminal degree is required in addition to substantial leadership experience in a comparably complex environment.

Minimum Qualifications
