<p class="" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The University of Vermont (UVM), one of the
oldest universities in America, seeks an accomplished, inspiring, collaborative
leader to serve as Dean of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural
Resources (RSENR). This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced
academic leader with the vision to advance a vital unit within one of the
nation’s premier small public research universities.</span></p>
<p class="" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The only comprehensive university in the
state and Vermont’s land grant institution, UVM enrolls 13,000 students,
including more than 10,000 undergraduates and close to 1500 graduate students, and
combines faculty-student relationships typically found in a liberal arts
college with the scholarship and resources of a major research institution. It
is home to seven undergraduate schools and colleges, an honors college,
graduate college, medical school, and a division of continuing education. The
University has attracted an increasingly distinguished faculty, and has steadily
built its research enterprise, growing sponsored research from $65M in 1999 to
$129M in 2012. The campus spans Burlington’s highest ridgeline overlooking Lake
Champlain, between the Adirondack and Green mountains, and is surrounded by the
small, historical city of Burlington, perennially voted one of America's best
places to live. </span></p>

<p class="" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">UVM
has long been nationally recognized for its leadership in environmental
programs and practices, and the RSENR Dean will oversee its signature academic
unit in this field. The School, with strong undergraduate and graduate programs
and research, a newly-renovated, LEED platinum certified building, access to
unmatched physical and natural environments, and a rich history of
interdisciplinary activity, is well positioned to be a key academic unit in the
broad spectrum of environment-related activity across the University. Enrolling
approximately 600 undergraduate students and 130 full- and part-time Master’s
and Ph.D. students, RSENR offers eight undergraduate majors and minors, and
doctoral and masters degrees in Natural Resources with several concentrations.
There are 40 full-time faculty members and 30 research and administrative
staff. The School’s budget is $11.9M. Directors of the Environmental Program,
the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science
Laboratory on Lake Champlain, and the U.S. Forest Service Northern Research
Station report to the Dean. As RSENR’s chief academic and administrative
officer, the Dean reports directly to the Provost and Senior Vice President. </span></p>

<p class="" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">UVM seeks a Dean with a record of successful
academic achievement and administrative management, as well as experience in
institutional planning, curriculum development, and fiscal oversight. The ideal
candidate will bring a compelling vision for campus-wide and national
leadership in environment, an appreciation for and proven leadership in interdisciplinary
activity, demonstrated commitment to working collaboratively across the
University to promote its collective goals, and the ability and appetite for
engaging in efforts to secure external funding for the activities and programs
of the School. Candidates must share the Rubenstein School community’s values,
perspectives, and vision for a sustainable future, its commitment to diversity
and inclusion, and to ensuring academic opportunities for students that
integrate teaching and community engagement through service-learning and other
forms of experiential learning. They will also bring the capacity to help focus
the energy, skills, and collective creativity of its faculty, staff and
students. An earned doctorate in a relevant academic discipline and an outstanding
record of teaching and scholarship to qualify for full professor at UVM are required.
