Dean of the School of Justice, Safety and Military Science

Eastern Kentucky University, located just 27 miles south of Lexington in Richmond, KY, seeks an entrepreneurial and visionary leader who will play the central role in shaping the success, growth, and future of the College of Justice, Safety, and Military Science (CJSMS). The Dean will provide innovative, collaborative, and flexible leadership for this re-imagined College, including the delivery, assessment, and review of all programs and courses; supervision of all faculty and staff; budget management; and administering college policies and procedures. 

 

THE POSITION
Reporting to the Senior Vice President and Provost, the Dean serves as the chief administrative officer of CJSMS in all matters concerning academic affairs, faculty affairs, and student affairs. Working with faculty, staff, administration, and external constituents, the Dean will be a unifier of people and programs and will understand the importance of bringing balance and connectivity between the theoretical and applied disciplines housed within the College. The new Dean will take full advantage of significant opportunities to develop professional partnerships and will aggressively seek internships, grants and contracts that advance student learning and research within the disciplines. While non-traditional candidates will be considered, a PhD or terminal degree in a discipline represented in CJSMS is strongly desired. Tenure at the rank of associate or full professor is preferred. For full details of the position see the leadership profile.
