Dean New York University, Tandon School of Engineering | Brooklyn, New York As of April 2024, this search has reached an advanced stage. Until this search is formally closed, we will continue to review applications and keep materials on file.New York University (NYU), a preeminent global research university, seeks a dynamic and visionary leader to serve as the next dean of the Tandon School of Engineering (NYU Tandon). Excellence in engineering, science, and technology is core to NYU’s mission to be a top international center of scholarship, teaching, and research, and NYU’s new president, Dr. Linda Mills, has made clear that investing in science and technology will be one of her four strategic pathways for the future. In 2022, NYU celebrated a collective investment of $1 billion in the Tandon School of Engineering, which has been underway and continues to fund ground-breaking facilities improvements and faculty expansion. President Mills’ subsequent announcement signals that additional opportunities and resources for NYU in the realm of engineering, science, and technology are on the horizon. NYU Tandon is already on an impressive upward trajectory towards becoming an enduring force at the top of engineering. The school has climbed more than 40 places in the US News and World Report rankings from #80 to #37 in a span of 16 years. The next dean will arrive at this propitious moment to develop the vision for the future that identifies key niches where NYU Tandon has a strategic advantage, opportunities to build on existing areas of excellence, and the ability to lead the field. NYU Tandon’s distinctive assets include its formidable strengths in emerging technologies and entrepreneurship, collaborative activities across the largest private research university in the world, and its location in the heart of Brooklyn’s booming tech scene combined with NYU’s global reach. New York City’s potential to catalyze new partnerships and attract major investment in transformative initiatives is unrivaled, and NYU Tandon strives to leverage these opportunities and its urban identity to achieve a new level of impact. The dean will inspire the internal community and rally external champions of NYU Tandon and NYU more broadly around the mandate to build a distinctive and world-class urban science and technology ecosystem that is a magnet for talent to NYU and makes it a preferred partner for academic institutions, industry, and government. NYU Tandon is an incredibly dynamic institution that fosters invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and the dean will work with a dedicated community to define the next chapter of its reinvention. One example of creative energy at NYU Tandon is the exciting new partnership, developed in 2022, between NYU and KAIST (the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) to offer dual degree programs and stimulate joint research programs, faculty and student exchanges, entrepreneurial activity, and industrial partnerships. The NYU Tandon dean will also have the opportunity to promote excellence and innovation in collaboration with NYU’s other excellent schools and colleges and across campuses within its unique global network, as well as meaningfully engage industrial and corporate partners in collaborative research and educational initiatives. With an ambitious agenda ahead, NYU Tandon is looking for a dean who will be energized by the numerous opportunities to forge partnerships and develop philanthropic resources to continue its ascent. The dean will be aided in resource development by the central development office but will play a vital role in generating resources for the strategic plan. In the tenure of the new dean, NYU Tandon will utilize its nimble and inventive culture to become a model for the field by redefining modern engineering education in an urban context, capitalizing on opportunities for cutting-edge programming, and leading the field in research and educational excellence, all while providing unparalleled opportunity and access to a broad and diverse student body. Compensation will be commensurate with experience, with an anticipated salary range of approximately $600,000 to $750,000 for a 12-month appointment.John Muckle and Elizabeth Dorr Weithman are leading this search with Melissa DePretto Behan.NYU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to a policy of equal treatment and opportunity in every aspect of its recruitment and hiring process without regard to age, alienage, caregiver status, childbirth, citizenship status, color, creed, disability, domestic violence victim status, ethnicity, familial status, gender and/or gender identity or expression, marital status, military status, national origin, parental status, partnership status, predisposing genetic characteristics, pregnancy, race, religion, reproductive health decision making, sex, sexual orientation, unemployment status, veteran status, or any other legally protected basis.
