The ideal candidate will be a dynamic and transformational leader with a vision for excellence in teaching, research, and service. Responsibilities include serving as the chief academic officer, managing budgets, faculty, and staff, and championing student success. The Dean will also be tasked with developing and implementing a strategic plan for the School, in line with the University's strategic goals, and providing leadership and advocacy for STEM programs to a diverse range of stakeholders.
