Position Announcement
The University of Michigan invites nominations and applications for the position of Dean of the College of Pharmacy.
Established in 1876, the College of Pharmacy is a research-intensive unit committed to excellence in professional and graduate education within one of the nation’s premier public research universities. A member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy since its founding, the College was reaccredited for seven years in 2011. It offers a professional curriculum leading to the Pharm.D. degree and to Ph.D. degrees in Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Social and Administrative Sciences, and maintains an enrollment of approximately 340 PharmD students and 85 graduate students. Today, the College has a diverse group of nearly 100 faculty and staff. Many have been recognized on campus, nationally and internationally for their service and contributions to pharmacy research and education.
The Dean is responsible for providing academic, administrative, and fiscal leadership, and reports directly to the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Dean represents the College in promoting collaborations with other units, including the other health science schools, on the university’s highly interdisciplinary campus. The Dean is expected to be a passionate advocate for the College in its relations with internal and external constituencies and have a proven record of fundraising success.
