The Assistant Dean will create, lead, and direct a comprehensive marketing and communications strategy to strengthen and advance the school's reputation, visibility, and engagement with key stakeholders. As a strategic advisor to the Dean, the Assistant Dean works closely with the Dean and senior leadership team to advance the school's priorities, strengthen its brand, and enhance its institutional reputation.

Working with the Office of the Dean, school leadership, and marketing and communications colleagues across Temple University and Temple University Health System, the Assistant Dean leads a unified marketing and communications program that supports the school's academic, research, clinical, and philanthropic priorities. This includes shaping and executing an integrated brand, content, and communications strategy that elevates Katz's distinction in medical education, research innovation, clinical excellence, and community impact.

This position is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned professional to lead marketing and communications at one of our most pivotal schools and to work closely with colleagues within central Strategic Marketing and Communications and across campus to enhance the visibility and reputation of Katz. Joining the school as it celebrates its 125th anniversary and continues its expansion across regional campuses-including the opening of the WellSpan Health campus in 2027 and a planned fourth campus with AtlantiCare in 2029-the Assistant Dean will play a key role in elevating the school's profile, amplifying its impact, and advancing its strategic priorities.

Katz currently delivers medical education at its flagship North Philadelphia campus (home to Temple University Hospital) and at St. Luke's University Health Network in Bethlehem, PA. With the opening of its WellSpan Health campus in York, PA in 2027 and a planned fourth location in partnership with AtlantiCare in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 2029, Katz will provide m students with broad clinical experiences in diverse urban, suburban, and rural settings. The school confers the MD degree; MS and PhD degrees in Biomedical Science; the MA in Health Justice and Bioethics; the MS in Physician Assistant Studies; a certificate in Narrative Medicine; a non-degree post-baccalaureate program; numerous dual-degree programs; and, in partnership with Temple University Hospital, supports 40 residency and fellowship programs.

Katz also manages a robust and growing portfolio of publicly and privately funded research, with specialized centers focused on heart disease, cancer, metabolic disease, substance use disorder, population health, and other urgent regional and national priorities.
