Job Description
Dean, College of Public Affairs

The University of Baltimore (UB) invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean of the College of Public Affairs.

UB is a public university committed to teaching, research, scholarship and service to the surrounding community and enrolls more than 6,500 students. As one of the Carnegie Foundation's first "community engaged" universities, UB serves the city, county, state and beyond with baccalaureate, master's, doctoral and professional programs. UB is an urban university in the heart of Baltimore's cultural and arts district. Founded in 1925, UB is part of the University System of Maryland and includes four academic units: the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Public Affairs, the Merrick School of Business, and the School of Law.

This position offers a unique opportunity to provide strategic leadership for the newly created College of Public Affairs. The College, formed in July 2010 and comprised of the School of Public and International Affairs, the School of Health and Human Services, the School of Criminal Justice, and the Schaefer Center for Public Policy, offers baccalaureate, masters' and doctoral degree programs. The Dean will lead the College's transformation to an expanded, enhanced College of Public Affairs, ushering in a new phase of academic program expansion and enrollment growth.

Building upon institutional strengths in teaching, public service, applied research, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the College of Public Affairs enrolls more than 657 undergraduate and 583 graduate students and has 34 full time faculty as well as part time instructors with subject area expertise from Baltimore-Washington area businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and arts communities. The Schaefer Center for Public Policy has a full-time research staff of 10, complemented by another 70 research assistants and contract researchers. The new Dean will have an opportunity for transformative leadership of the College seeking to develop additional distinctive, robust and contemporary programs that will support this mission and attract more high ability students with more diverse interests and backgrounds.

As the College's chief academic officer, the Dean provides intellectual and administrative leadership, guiding the College in its renewed commitment to innovative, relevant education for current and future generations of students. Specifically the Dean's responsibilities include consulting with and empowering faculty to revise and develop curricula in specific majors; maintaining high standards of teaching, research and service; supporting the applied research work of the College; administering the College's budget; recruiting faculty; taking a leading role in other faculty personnel matters, including tenure, promotion, and renewal; and advocating for the College at the University level.

The successful candidate must have a distinguished record of teaching, a history of attracting research funds, and a national reputation as reflected in scholarly, professional, administrative, or other relevant experience. It is anticipated that candidates will have a record of excellence in scholarship and teaching that would merit a tenured faculty appointment at the rank of Professor in one of the disciplines in the College.

Greenwood/Asher & Associates, Inc. is assisting UB in the search. Initial screening of applications will begin immediately and continue until an appointment is made. For best consideration, materials should be provided by February 1, 2011. Nominations should include the name, position, address, and telephone number of the nominee. Application materials should include a letter addressing how the candidate's experiences match the position requirements, a resume and contact information for at least five references. Submission of materials as MS Word attachments is strongly encouraged.

Confidential inquiries, nominations, and application materials should be directed to:
