Associate Vice Provost for International Education

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) seeks nominations and applications for a visionary, energetic, and innovative leader to serve as the inaugural Associate Vice Provost for International Education. The role of Associate Vice Provost for International Education is a new one for UMBC as of 2017. The impetus behind the creation of this position is a desire to facilitate even deeper engagement of UMBC's students and faculty with partners around the world, while also further elevating the University's international visibility and reputation.

The initial priority for the new Associate Vice Provost will be assessing and leading Office of International Education Services (IES). IES provides activities, services, and advising for study abroad students, international students, and international faculty, researchers, and scholars. The other critical responsibility of the Associate Vice Provost will be to reach beyond the IES to facilitate and catalyze international engagement across the university as a whole.

UMBC, which is classified as a Doctoral university: Higher Research Activity by the Carnegie Foundation, enrolls nearly 14,000 students, including approximately 2,500 graduate students. UMBC is one of the 12 campuses of the University System of Maryland and is located on 500 wooded, rolling acres just outside of Baltimore and about 45 minutes from Washington, DC. UMBC offers 55 majors and 35 minors, as well as 24 certificate programs, spanning the arts, engineering and information technology, humanities, sciences, pre-professional studies and social sciences. UMBC's Graduate School offers 41 master's degree programs, 24 doctoral degree programs and 24 graduate certificates. Graduate programs include education, engineering, emergency health services, imaging and digital arts, information technology, aging studies, life sciences, psychology, public policy and a host of other fields. UMBC contributes to the economic development of the State and the region through entrepreneurial initiatives, workforce training, K-16 partnerships, and technology commercialization in collaboration with public agencies and the corporate community. UMBC is nationally recognized for its innovative undergraduate education.

In addition to holding U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, the ideal candidate will have significant management experience in international education within higher education or an international organization. A Master's degree is required; a Ph.D. would be preferred.

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. For best consideration, please send nominations, applications, and queries in confidence and electronically by March 22nd to:
