Dean, School of Nursing and Health Studies University of Miami | Coral Gables, Florida The University of Miami invites applications and nominations for its next Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS). This is an exciting opportunity for an accomplished academic health care leader to assume a pivotal role at a School of considerable resources and reputation. SONHS is recognized as a world-class center for nursing education. With a rich heritage dating back to 1948, the School’s scientific portfolio is ranked first in Florida and in the top 20 in the nation for NIH funding among nursing schools. Cutting-edge research is conducted by some of the world’s leading experts on topics such as cultural competence in health care, HIV and other STIs, substance abuse, family and intimate partner violence, mental health, and health disparities with a focus on populations in South Florida, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Among the many points of pride at the SONHS are an NIH designated Center for Latino Health Research Opportunities (CLaRO), a WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Human Resources Development and Patient Safety, and the Simulation Hospital Advancing Research and Education (S.H.A.R.E.®) built to mimic a cutting-edge, fully functioning hospital. With 1,425 current students, 46 full-time faculty, and over 12,000 alumni, the School has grown rapidly in recent years in response to its increasing national and international prominence. In 2023, U.S. News and World Report ranked SONHS as 25th in Best Nursing Schools: Master’s and 39th in Best Nursing Schools: Doctor of Nursing Practice. Additionally, the undergraduate nursing program is ranked 29th. SONHS is part of a vibrant and diverse University situated within the cosmopolitan city of Miami, the gateway to the Americas. By drawing upon these resources and engaging these communities, the next Dean will build upon the School’s successes to achieve new levels of excellence. Reporting to the Provost, the Dean will be a champion for the continuing success of SONHS and an important collaborating partner with other University divisions. Candidates must be a registered nurse (RN), have a graduate degree in nursing, a doctoral degree, and a record of scholarly distinction appropriate for appointment as a full tenured professor at the University of Miami. The next Dean will have significant experience in nursing leadership, education, research, mentoring, and service. Building and supporting a culture of belonging for a diverse community is a core value of the University of Miami; all candidates must share this vision.Nominations, inquiries, and applications (including a CV and cover letter) should be submitted in confidence below.
