Do you seek a part-time role helping to guide undergraduates into health careers? The Health: Science, Society and Policy (HSSP) program at Brandeis University seeks to hire a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer to manage and oversee the internship experience and teach the associated course for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. These undergraduate internships span the spectrum of health functions, including:

biomedical and health-services research in labs or biopharmaceutical companies;
clinical support positions in hospitals, clinics, dental offices, physical therapy centers, nursing homes, or ambulance companies;
public health functions in community health centers or public health agencies;
health administration, health policy, and consulting jobs;
health advocacy positions in non-profits and patient groups, including those that focus on how social determinants like hunger, housing, neighborhoods and environment affect health.
Candidates for the position should have familiarity with many of these fields, how they connect to each other, and their role in the delivery of health to patients and populations. The internship instructor is not required to find internships for students, but the department maintains a database of past assignments if necessary. The instructor is asked to do a quick email or Zoom check-in with each student during the internship, some of which occur over the summer. The position is well-suited for someone established in the healthcare industry who wants to mentor future clinicians, medical personnel, and health advocates.

Course descriptions for the current course appear below:

HSSP 89a Internship and Analysis

This course for declared HSSP majors combines: 1) a supervised health-related internship, and 2) a weekly, classroom-based discussion during the Internship Seminar. The internship placement must be clearly health-related and take place within a healthcare organization whose work involves science (e.g., natural sciences and medicine), society (e.g., the social sciences and public health), and/or policy (e.g., law, politics, economics, and organizations). The internship must be arranged in consultation with and approved in writing by the HSSP Internship Instructor BEFORE the internship begins. Further details available at: Students are required to attend a weekly 1.5 hour sections, keep a journal, write short papers, and prepare presentations - all of which requires reflection on and systematic analysis of the internship experience. Usually offered every semester.

The course is taught in person, seminar style for 30-35 HSSP students in the fall and 15-20 students in the spring. The class meets on Tuesdays and Fridays from 12:45-2:05pm in the fall, but there is flexibility in scheduling for future semesters. The course is designed to connect the students' front-line experience with long-term career pathways, as well as discuss some of the larger issues & debates in health care. Prior syllabi will be made available as a background/foundation. The salary is $16,640 for both semesters. This appointment is to a position that is in a collective bargaining unit represented by SEIU Local 509.
