Dean University of Michigan, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts | Ann Arbor, Michigan The University of Michigan, one of the top public research universities in the country, seeks a visionary and strategic leader to serve as the next dean of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) is the largest academic unit within the University of Michigan (U-M) and is located on the university’s flagship campus in Ann Arbor, 35 miles west of Detroit. LSA enrolls more than 19,000 undergraduates across 85 majors and sub-majors and over 100 minors in 41 academic departments, as well as more than 2,700 graduate students. As one of U-M’s 19 schools and colleges, LSA has the size and distinction of a top-flight liberal arts and sciences university. Additionally, LSA has one of the largest and most devoted alumni networks in the world, with almost 235,000 living LSA graduates. Few universities in the country, public or private, match the resources and impact of the University of Michigan, and LSA plays a central role in the work of the university by pushing the boundaries of what is understood about human experience and the natural world and fostering the next generation of rigorous and empathetic thinkers, creators, and contributors to the State of Michigan, the nation, and the world.The next dean will articulate a vision for LSA that connects and fosters collaborations among the three academic divisions of the college (the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences) and between LSA and other schools and colleges across U-M, in line with the university’s long-standing interdisciplinary focus. The ideal candidate will bring a record of intellectual leadership and scholarly accomplishment, a capacity to energize and collaborate with varied stakeholders across LSA and U-M as well as externally, a clear dedication to student success, a demonstrated commitment to meaningfully advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a record of being a champion for the critical importance of the liberal arts and sciences in a rapidly changing world.Inquiries, nominations, and applications (including CV and cover letter) should be submitted in confidence below.
