Dear Colleagues,
After consulting with members of the Dean’s Advisory Council and the chair of the Nominating Committee, I now invite nominations and applications from tenured faculty members in the School of Arts & Sciences for two associate dean positions. All candidates must be willing to begin a three-year term of service no later than July 1, 2012. Candidates who would be willing to begin a term of service on January 1, 2012 should please indicate this.
Nominations or applications should include a letter that sets out the contributions the candidate is prepared to make, discussion of relevant leadership and administrative experience, and the candidate’s curriculum vitae. Please submit nominations or applications and the requested materials to Cheryl Burns by October 3, 2011.
Appointments of associate deans will be for three-year terms, with a procedure for performance review and discernment in the third year. In some cases, one further three-year appointment may be possible. The associate deans will hold mixed portfolios of responsibilities, including some work that is typical in a dean’s office, such as hiring, personnel reviews, budget planning, curriculum planning, and institutional procedures, etc. However, I will also assign to individuals specific projects that are dear to them, such as undergraduate research or support for pedagogy. I will consider the complementary capabilities and experiences of the academic deans as I make appointments and assignments.
I will ask three members of the Dean’s Advisory Council to review all nominations and applications with me, and I will take very seriously their advice and recommendations.
The dean’s office staff values very highly integrity, clear communication, creativity, and effectiveness. We look forward to welcoming two new members this year.
