Overview
Gonzaga University seeks a visionary, collaborative leader to serve as dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. It is a time of great momentum for engineering and applied science at Gonzaga. In 2022, the university unveiled the Bollier Center for Integrated Science and Engineering, elevating STEM education and ushering in a new era of collaboration and real‑world problem‑solving at Gonzaga. In 2024, Gonzaga established the Institute for Informatics and Applied Technology, which is driving interdisciplinary, human‑centered education and innovation at the intersection of data, AI, and the arts and sciences. In the last year, Gonzaga launched the Center for Materials Research; a state‑of‑the‑art Biomedical Engineering Laboratory; new academic programs in data science and cybersecurity; and the GRO‑MECS program, an initiative to ignite greater student interest in STEM fields while providing high‑impact experiential learning opportunities. Faculty and students benefit from transformative industry partnerships, including Gonzaga's leadership in the Inland Northwest Tech Hub in collaboration with Boeing, NASA, and SpaceX, among other partners. Building on these accomplishments, the next dean will develop a compelling vision for the future of SEAS and advance a strategy that elevates the school's standing and maximizes its impact. This effort will leverage Gonzaga's strengths as a liberal arts institution anchored by exceptional teaching and its Jesuit, Catholic, humanistic mission to further distinguish SEAS as an exemplar of innovation for the common good. The dean must balance academic excellence with practical application, honoring the school's history and traditions while pushing boldly into the future. An earned terminal degree in a STEM field and qualifications that merit an appointment as a full professor with tenure are required.
