The Position:
The Dean reports to the Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Shelly Chabon, and serves as a vital member of the University’s Academic Leadership Team (ALT). As the chief executive and academic officer for the School, the Dean will set the standard for intellectual engagement and accomplishment by providing a strategic vision for and operational leadership of all school programs.

In addition to the Foundation, the Dean will collaborate with PSU leadership, department chairs, faculty, and select school staff, to buoy these efforts for the School.
The Dean will lead a multidisciplinary faculty whose research and scholarly interests are broad and whose work engages constituencies both in the academy and in the public sphere. The Dean will serve as a catalyst to link SSW faculty and students to other departments across campus, to other disciplines in the academy, and to public and private communities outside of the institution.
The Dean will also help realize the SSW’s vision and will function as the School’s public voice, promoting initiatives within Portland State, and articulating the School’s contributions in local, state, regional, and national arenas.
