Center for Childhood Resilience, Lurie Children’s and Northwestern University
The Center for Childhood Resilience (CCR) in the Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children’s) and Institute for Innovations in Developmental Sciences (DevSci), Northwestern University invite applications for a tenure eligible faculty leadership position (associate-to-full professor) with a focus on developmental health equity. This joint recruitment is an inaugural leadership role that builds on a longstanding partnership between Lurie Children’s CCR and the DevSci Institute. This is an ideal position for senior leaders who relish an opportunity to cross-fertilize applied and scientific communities and to catalyze novel initiatives to amplify the impact, reach and scalability of developmentally oriented, community engaged children’s mental health research. We are seeking an individual with leading edge work advancing pediatric research on early identification and promotion of mental health and wellbeing of diverse children, families and communities.
We seek an exceptional mid-to-advanced career innovator, investigator, and leader, with a history of robust extramurally funded research portfolio and scholarly productivity in pediatric mental health equity research with a developmental lens. Experience bringing diverse constituencies together to advance developmental health equity and inclusive excellence is also key for this leadership position. This position will build on existing strengths and create new opportunities, deepening partnerships within and across the units. A critical consideration will be the extent to which the candidate has a collaborative orientation and scholarly focus that will serve as a scientific bridge between the two units. The academic home for the position will be in the Division of Child Psychiatry and Behavioral Health within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine.
