Outstanding Opportunity to Lead a World-Class Faculty
This is a great opportunity to further advance a world-class Faculty leveraging the regional, national and international profile of a progressive University, within a rapidly changing global environment.

It is ambitious for itself and its students, striving for excellence across its Education, Research and Knowledge Exchange activities.
The Executive Dean has a significant role in shaping the Faculty’s education, research and professional positioning. This is an exciting opportunity for an engaging leader to contribute to the future of an ambitious institution.
