The Company is seeking a Chair and Program Director for its Department of Physical Therapy. The successful candidate will be a collaborative academic leader with a strong background in physical therapy education, research, and clinical practice. Responsibilities include providing strategic vision and operational oversight for the department, advancing excellence in education, research, and service, and fostering a high-performing academic environment. The role also involves managing departmental operations, faculty affairs, and program accreditation, as well as expanding the department's geographical footprint and research portfolio. The ideal candidate will have a Doctoral degree, an active PT license in the US, and a minimum of 6 years of higher education experience, with a focus on physical therapy.
