The portfolio for the Associate Dean of Global/Local Initiatives and Programming (initial 5-year appointment) focuses on coordinating and developing global and local academic programming as well as work that brings together global and local concerns.  Responsibilities include some or all of the following areas:

Nominees for either or both positions should be full-time tenured/tenure-track �������� faculty members who have experience planning and completing projects of different scale and are able to work effectively with a wide variety of constituencies.  They should have demonstrable commitment to furthering the College mission, good communication skills, be able to work independently or as part of a team, and must value collaboration, transparency, and ethical decision-making processes and actions. 

To self-nominate, please submit a current cv and a statement of interest (1000 words or less) describing 1) relevant expertise and experience, and 2) specifying portfolio domains of greatest interest from the list above or other areas for contribution.  �������� faculty can also nominate colleagues by submitting the nominee’s name and a brief note of explanation for their nomination.  DoF will follow up with nominees about their interest in the position.  Please direct any questions about this position to Dean Omoto at dean_faculty@pitzer.edu.
