Dean

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG or the University) seeks a dynamic and entrepreneurial leader to serve as dean of its Bryan School of Business and Economics (the Bryan School or the School). This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious and collaborative individual to build on a strong platform and position it as a top business school in the region. Founded in 1891, UNCG is a public, coeducational, doctoral-granting, residential university and one of the three original institutions of the University of North Carolina System. The University community includes approximately 18,000 students, including more than 3,600 graduate students, and over 2,500 faculty and staff. The University holds two classifications from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching: a “doctoral university with high research activity” and a university with deep “community engaged high research activity.”

An anchor institution in Greensboro named in honor of local businessman and philanthropist Joseph M. Bryan, the School is closely tied to the Piedmont Triad region and partners with local and state-wide business and community leaders to strengthen their collective knowledge and common purpose – making a meaningful impact on the business community. The School has been highly ranked by U.S. News, Fortune, and The Princeton Review, and the 127 dedicated faculty members are known for their exceptional classroom teaching, their strong research portfolios, their commitment to innovation, and their entrepreneurial orientation. The more than 30,000 alumni boast excellent placement rates upon graduation and contribute their talent to organizations throughout the Piedmont Triad region and, increasingly, the nation. The new dean will join the Bryan School community at an exciting time as it endeavors to enhance undergraduate programs and graduate curricula that provide students with excellent preparation for successful careers in the region. 

Reporting to the provost, the dean must bring a collaborative approach, a willingness to invite new and innovative ideas from the Bryan School community, and a penchant for taking calculated risks. Successful candidates will have the agility to balance multiple competing demands and priorities, both internal and external, and a strong track record of proactively addressing challenges. In addition, they must possess exceptional interpersonal skills and high emotional intelligence.

Screening of complete applications will begin immediately and continue until the completion of the search process. Inquiries, nominations, referrals, and CVs with cover letters should be submitted below. Electronic submission of materials is strongly encouraged.
