J.R. Simplot Endowed Dean
College of Agricultural and Life Sciences
The University of Idaho (U of I), the state's land-grant and flagship institution, seeks a forward thinking, innovative and collaborative leader to serve as dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS).
The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences is a dynamic academic organization that works to fulfill the University of Idaho's land-grant mission through its integration of teaching, research, and Extension. The college is a connected community of more than 1,000 extraordinary undergraduate and graduate students, 216 tenure track and professional faculty, 28 postdocs, and 271 staff located in Moscow and across the state of Idaho. CALS offers degree programs on a broad range of topics, from animal science and crop management to child development. CALS is made up of six departments and one school, which offer 26 undergraduate majors and 20 graduate programs, including seven PhD degree programs.
CALS recently received a transformational gift of $5 million from the J.R. Simplot Family Foundation to endow the dean's position - the first of its kind at U of I. This endowment was inspired by recent CALS' achievements in moving the University of Idaho into a premier agricultural research institution.
The Dean for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences has the responsibility to oversee and implement policies and priorities of the college and university. The dean leads the college faculty in the development of policies and priorities governing the academic programs of the college and the research agenda, including the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and University of Idaho Extension. The dean facilitates the appropriate inclusion of faculty, staff, students, and stakeholders in the college decision-making processes. It is expected that the dean satisfactorily employs strategies to implement objectives and achieve the university's strategic goals while carrying out the mission of the college.
