The successful candidate for Chair of Psychiatry and Health Behavior will be a nationally recognized academic psychiatrist with strong leadership skills, a reputation for excellence, and a record of achievement in clinical work, education, research, and administration.
The new Chair must demonstrate a leadership style that is focused on the success of the faculty in all their endeavors; commitment to the Chair's role in institutional, as well as departmental leadership; a deep understanding of the role of culture in organizational success; and a willingness to be both strategic and tactical in achieving department objectives.
