JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS

Job Description and Position Requirements:

The Department of Public Health Sciences is seeking a Part-Time Global Health Coordinator to lead the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Penn State Global Health Exchange Program (GHEP). This is a part-time position designed for a qualified staff member with expertise in public health, global health, and/or international education.

Ideal candidates will possess exceptional organizational, communication, and leadership skills. The coordinator will serve as a key resource and guide for international partnering institutions and incoming international students.

Responsibilities include:

Program Structure & Curriculum Design:

• In coordination with the GHEP Program Director, refine the GHEP curriculum to ensure alignment with the program's learning objectives.
• Collaborate with program faculty to develop and implement new lectures, educational materials, and activities.
• Collaborate with community partners to design immersive community-based experiences for the interprofessional student group.
• Coordinate the logistics of the program, including planning student events and facilitating communication with all participants.
• Host regular check-ins with students and program staff.

Scholarly Work & Program Evaluation:

• Design and execute a monitoring and evaluation plan to assess the program's effectiveness and impact.
• Refine existing student evaluation and assessment tools.
• Analyze program data to inform decision-making and continuous improvement.
• Lead or contribute to scholarly outputs, such as conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications, and reports, based on the program's outcomes and data.

This position is for 10 hours/week from January through the middle of July. During the two-week program, July 13-24, 2026, the program hours increase to 40 hours per week.
