Associate Dean for Graduate Programs

The University of Texas School of Public Health San Antonio seeks a dynamic leader to serve as the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs. Launched in 2022, the School of Public Health is a strategic collaboration of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Proudly known as the “People’s School,” the School addresses the need for a dedicated school of public health to serve San Antonio, the seventh-largest city in the United States, Bexar County, and the broader 38-county service area within South Texas. The School welcomed its first cohort of students last fall.

The Associate Dean for Graduate Programs will contribute to the development of an exceptional school of public health with great community and institutional support. The School is built on partnership and well-positioned as UTSA and UT Health San Antonio merge. The merger was announced by the University of Texas System in August 2024 and will bring together these two great institutions to create an integrated world-class academic research and academic medical center.

The Associate Dean will report to the founding Dean and collaborate with other leaders on student progress, curriculum development, accreditation, and implementation. They will lead graduate programs, academic affairs, and administrative matters. They will support the School’s vision to improve the health of all Texans, addressing public health challenges within communities and building a pipeline of public health professionals. The successful candidate will have a strong record of leadership in higher education, deep knowledge of public health programs and accreditation, and the skills required to oversee large and complex programs.
