Together, this group shares responsibility for the organization’s overall health and for cultivating an environment where everyone can succeed. This position offers a compelling opportunity for an experienced leader to shape and elevate the library’s impact in teaching and instruction, faculty and student research, community engagement, and library faculty development. The portfolio includes ensuring strategic and administrative effectiveness of multiple programs and activities in the Teaching, Research, and Outreach unit and the Creativity and Innovation Services unit. In addition, the Associate Dean will serve as the library’s Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, providing thoughtful oversight of annual review, retention, promotion, and tenure processes; aligning faculty governance with University policies; representing library faculty on University committees; and ensuring meaningful guidance and support for faculty members throughout their careers.

Coaching and managing a mentoring program for library faculty will be central to the position, and will require understanding multiple perspectives, balancing multiple interests, and navigating complex and sometimes difficult conversations. The ideal candidate is a skilled relationship-builder who works across organizational boundaries, communicates effectively with people from all backgrounds, and thrives in a fast-paced, forward-looking environment where adaptability and collaboration are key to shared success.
