About the Role

The Company is seeking a Dean for its College of Health Sciences. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing leadership to six academic departments, fostering a student-centered and collaborative environment, and developing inter-organizational partnerships to enhance student learning and job preparation. The Dean will be expected to be a committed partner to the college's faculty, department chairs, and students, and to bring fresh ideas and perspectives while honoring the existing strong culture. An earned doctorate in health sciences or a related field, along with a record of teaching, scholarship, and service suitable for a professor in a health sciences discipline, is required. This role demands a visionary leader with excellent communication skills who can effectively bridge the gap between the college and the local health services and education systems. The ideal candidate will have a deep commitment to the mission of the college, a collaborative spirit, and a focus on maximizing student-centeredness. Responsibilities include ensuring the college's programs meet the standards of professional accreditation bodies, and leading initiatives that contribute to the quality of life in the region. The Dean will also be instrumental in creating opportunities for faculty research and will be expected to be a strong advocate for the college both internally and externally.
