The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS) is seeking three tenured faculty members who can provide leadership and mentoring to the intellectual community of students, faculty and fellows at three of its colleges. These college heads must be committed to enhancing the experience of York’s students, especially first-year students.
Those who can fulfill these goals are encouraged to apply for the college head positions available in McLaughlin, New and Vanier Colleges. All three are affiliated with LA&PS.
Applications/nominations will be accepted until Jan. 26, 2018. The new positions commence July 1, 2018 for a period of three years.
The successful applicant in each college will be committed to enhancing the student experience, including the first-year experience, through the delivery of student-centred programs and services, and to engaging members of the York University community as well as the wider community. The successful applicant must also demonstrate superior administrative skills, particularly in the areas of finance, staff supervision and leadership. The college head will have a thorough knowledge of York’s academic and administrative processes.
If you are a tenured faculty member interested in becoming the head of one of these colleges, you can apply directly. If you are a member of the York University community who knows a tenured faculty member who would make an exceptional college head, we welcome your nomination of that individual.
College heads receive a stipend, course release and sabbatical top-up. For faculty members with an active research program, research support funds may be available upon submission of a proposal to the dean of LA&PS.
Applications/nominations should be submitted to Lynn Moynihan, secretary to the search committee, by email to moynihan@yorku.ca. The deadline for applications is Friday, Jan. 26.
