SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE
The University of California, Irvine (UCI) invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean of the School of Humanities. We seek an individual with a recognized national reputation and a demonstrated commitment to academic excellence who will bring vision and innovative leadership to the School. The scholarly achievements of this individual should be appropriate for an appointment as a Full Professor in the University of California system.
Founded in 1965, UCI is one of ten campuses of the University of California system and ranks among the ten best public universities in America. The campus is located on a 1500-acre site, three miles from the ocean in Orange County, approximately 40 miles south of Los Angeles.
The School of Humanities consists of sixteen academic departments and programs, six interdisciplinary research centers, 221 academic senate faculty, 2,200 undergraduates, and 450 graduate students. Six of our PhD programs are in the top 20 in the nation. Our impressive growth over the past decade reflects the vitality and range of the facultys intellectual interests. The School is rich in interdisciplinary programs and offers opportunities for the new dean to develop collaborative research and teaching within the humanities and with other units on campus.
The successful candidate will join a diverse and dynamic community at UCI, one which reflects the diversity of the state of California in the composition of its faculty, staff, students and programs. UCI is designated to grow substantially over the next decade and is currently engaged in strategic planning in anticipation of a major capital campaign. As the leader of the School at this pivotal moment, the dean will work with the faculty to build on current strengths, to foster creativity and innovation, and to help secure the resources that will move us forward.
