Position Details
Position Description
The Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Global Health at the University of Washington are recruiting a full-time (100% FTE) Director of a new Global Family Planning and Reproductive Justice Innovation Program. This faculty position will be at the Associate or full Professor with tenure rank, with a 12 month service period per year on an academic year, from July 1st - June 30th. The successful applicant must qualify for an appointment to the full-time faculty position at the University of Washington at the Associate or Full Professor level commensurate with qualifications. The primary appointment will be held in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and have an anticipated start date of July 1, 2022. Applicants from within and outside of academia are encouraged.
The goal of this new program is to bring together clinicians, researchers and educators from across the University of Washington’s schools and colleges to develop a premier program that will catalyze highly interdisciplinary research, education, and training; will support innovation in contraception, family planning, abortion, reproductive justice, and will accelerate the translation of innovations in those areas to large-scale, evidence-based programs and policies around the globe. The program represents an important new collaborative initiative between the Departments of Global Health and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington. This Program will build on substantial successful investments already realized by the University of Washington in these areas of scholarship.
The University of Washington, located in Seattle, is a leading global university with top ranked Schools of Medicine, and Public Health. The Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Global Health are both well respected, and have a history of effective collaboration. The Department of Global Health (DGH) is one of the premier Global Health Programs in the world and is housed jointly in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has a top 10 residency program, a strong division of Complex Family Planning, and fellowships in Maternal Family Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, and Complex Family Planning.
Outside of the Departments of Global Health and Obstetrics and Gynecology, the University of Washington has strong, cross-campus, multidisciplinary collaborative science related to contraception, family planning, and abortion, including male contraceptive research and development in the Department of Medicine, the Department of Epidemiology, and the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, among others. There is also a strong focus on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and applying this lens to all University of Washington activities is a high priority. We strongly believe this framework must be foundational within the new center for successful collaboration and progress. The successful applicant must engage in teaching, research and service, which is a mission of the University of Washington.

The successful applicant will have:
- An active program of scholarship related to contraception, reproductive justice, family planning, and/or abortion,
