Academic Executive Searches
This is an exciting time for the University of Oregon. We are embarking on a new era with a new Board of Trustees, a new president, and ambitious goals for fundraising and increasing state support. As we step into the future, we must focus on our vision of pursuing academic excellence in all that we do. This vision will be realized by expanding our faculty and enhancing our capacity for innovation and research.
Fulfilling our goal of academic excellence begins with the renewal and stabilization of academic leadership across campus. To that end, we are embarking on searches for the Vice President for Research and Innovation and for deans of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Lundquist College of Business, the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, and the School of Journalism and Communication. These searches will help define us as a premier public research university and set the course for determining the future of the University of Oregon.
