Seeking a new associate dean of faculty and staff services
We are seeking a new associate dean to join the college leadership team. This will be a 50 percent-time position, with the other 50 percent of the person’s time to be negotiated across teaching and research.

In this position, you will have an opportunity to:
- Plan and carry out mentoring and professional development programs for faculty, staff, and administrators to support their success
- Facilitate the promotion and tenure process at the college level
- Facilitate faculty and staff searches
- Facilitate the faculty awards process
- Work with the human resources coordinator to support faculty and staff with processes such as leave, third-year review, annual evaluation, reclassification, post-tenure review, graduate faculty status, telecommuting, flex time, and EOO matters.
- Collaborate with fellow associate deans, department heads, members of the Leadership Council, and the HR coordinator to plan and enact programming for faculty and staff.
Eligibility
Tenured faculty members holding the rank of associate professor or professor are eligible for this position. Because the position deals with tenure, career-track faculty are not eligible.

The Cabinet will identify individuals for follow-up meetings with the Cabinet and the Dean with a goal of having someone in place by the start of fall semester.
