The University of Louisville (UofL) is seeking a visionary, collaborative, and strategic leader to serve as the next Dean of its largest academic unit, the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S). This is an exciting opportunity for a distinguished scholar and accomplished administrator to guide the College forward at a time of tremendous promise.

Reporting to the Executive Vice President and University Provost, the Dean serves as the chief academic officer for the College, providing leadership for its approximately 8,000 undergraduate students, 700 graduate students, 641 full and part-time faculty, and 155 full and part-time staff. More specifically, the Dean is tasked with overseeing the College’s planning and operation, and will be responsible for executing a strategy to ensure that its educational excellence, research productivity, connections to the wider community, and national reputation continue to improve.

Founded in 1907, the College of Arts & Sciences has a storied history of education in the liberal arts and sciences. Through cutting-edge methodologies, innovative research and creative activities, engaged teaching using 21st Century tools, and rigorous scholarship, A&S is advancing knowledge and preparing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, dreamers, and doers.
