About The Position
The Georgetown University Global Health Institute (GUGHI) serves as a university-wide platform for supporting faculty, students, and staff who are contributing to global health through research, teaching, policy, and service. The Institute has recently launched a Faith & Global Health Initiative and seeks a Program Director to lead and build this project. Their initial priority will be the coordination of a new international Lancet Commission on Faith, Trust, & Health that is being led by Georgetown University, as well as supporting research projects within the Commission. The Faith & Global Health Initiative (FGHI) aims to strengthen relationships and mutual understanding among the faith and global health communities, to explore diverse perspectives on how beliefs interact with health in society, and to work together to strengthen investment, trust, and delivery in health services and our shared wellbeing locally and globally. By establishing connections, networks, and a foundation of shared understanding between leaders of both spaces, the Initiative hopes to broaden public understanding of the vital importance of global health to both our own health and our moral commitments. The FGHI also seeks to engage the vast network of faith-inspired health care providers that play such a central role in health care delivery across the world, particularly in marginalized communities and hard-to-reach geographies. It seeks to map and support that network, explore the unique perspectives, opportunities, and challenges that a faith orientation can bring to health care delivery, and better connect those organizations and practitioners to the wider global health movement. Further, the Initiative seeks to amplify the contribution and impact of faith-inspired health systems and effective engagement in global, regional and national health policy discourse.
