growth. These thematic areas will strengthen existing partnerships with several
colleges, including Engineering; Food, Agriculture & Environmental Sciences; Medicine; and Veterinary
Medicine, as well as OSU’s Environmental Science Network and Global
Water Institute. The Division is responsible for the environmental health
science curricula for the public health programs leading to PhD, MS, MPH and BS

resources. Candidates should have a demonstrated record of
administrative experience and have a strong and distinguished record of
scholarly research, teaching, and mentoring. Experience in community outreach,
especially in multicultural settings, is desired. The College of Public Health is Ohio’s first accredited college of public health.
