About The Position

As one of the first schools of social work in the United States, the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice has shaped the field for more than 100 years. As part of the University of Chicago, the Crown Family School shares the University's core values and distinctive intellectual culture. Crown Family School faculty, staff, and students focus on identifying solutions to complex social problems through research, training, and direct community engagement. Guided by an interdisciplinary tradition, Crown Family School scholars conduct innovative research to address interconnected social challenges such as educational inequality, health disparities, crime and violence, poverty, and child and family welfare—working at multiple scales, from individual to policy-level interventions. More than 10,000 Crown Family School graduates in the US and globally hold leadership positions in academia, at nonprofits, in business, and at governmental agencies. The Crown Family School is the home of four academic centers: These include the Susan and Richard Kiphart Center for Global Health and Social Development, Chicago Center for HIV Elimination (CCHE), the Kersten Institute for Urban Education, and the Center for Climate, Health, and Society (CHAS),. More information may be found at https://crownschool.uchicago.edu/. The Chicago Center for HIV Elimination (CCHE) is located at the University of Chicago and is a fully grant-funded research and service Center. CCHE aims to eliminate all new HIV transmission events by 2041. The University of Chicago's position on the South Side makes it uniquely situated to test, treat, and prevent new HIV infections in a highly affected population. The South Side communities and majority Black suburbs connected to them in the South represent the largest contiguous Black population in the United States. By using our integrated HIV transmission elimination approaches, we are beginning to make new infections in these communities less frequent. Please note that this position is funded through a grant, and as such, its continuation is contingent upon the availability of grant funding. The current grant period is scheduled to conclude on June 30, 2027. Employment in this role is expected to end on that date unless there is an extension of the grant or receipt of additional funding to support the position beyond that term.
