Description
The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), the fifth largest university in Texas and the second largest in the UT System, invites inquiries, applications, and nominations for the position of Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Innovation (CONHI).
This is a unique opportunity for a dynamic and innovative leader to assume a pivotal role in exploring and developing new programs in the exciting and broad fields of nursing and health innovation. Reporting to the Provost and SVP for Academic Affairs, the Dean will be a champion for the continuing success of CONHI and an important collaborating partner in cultivating new programs and partnerships.
CONHI is a three-time designated National League for Nursing Center of Excellence, is the largest nonprofit college of nursing in the United States, is among the top 30 colleges in National Institutes of Health funding, and remains the largest producer of baccalaureate-prepared nurses in Texas. Building on this strong nursing program, CONHI seeks further transformation into a nationally recognized leader in health innovation.
The Dean will engage, lead, and energize the CONHI community to build new initiatives and collaborations across and outside of UTA. Embracing an innovative, forward-thinking mindset, the Dean will identify strategic priorities for investment; provide leadership in scholarship, research, and education; oversee and manage all financial and administrative functions; and implement a collaborative vision that reflects the needs of the UTA community, including expanding CONHI’s reach into new areas of expertise.
The Dean should possess significant leadership experience and the ability to successfully lead a college as large, complex, and aspirational as CONHI. The Dean should have earned a doctoral degree in a health profession, health science, or allied health area; have a substantial record of leadership in education, research, and clinical oversight; and have a record of scholarly distinction appropriate for appointment as a tenured full professor.
