The University of Miami invites applications and nominations for the position of Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost.

The EVP/Provost is the University of Miami’s top academic leader and part of the senior leadership team responsible for all aspects of the university. The University of Miami seeks a distinguished scholar and academic leader who has a track record of strategically and operationally increasing the stature of research and educational programs at peer universities. In addition, candidates should have uncompromising integrity, an unwavering moral compass, proven leadership and decision-making skills in large academic organizations, a track record of strategic accomplishments, a history of productive collaboration within university governance structures, and experience in aligning resources to meet strategic and operational needs. The EVP/Provost will be expected to lead Miami’s three campuses with humility, be an advocate for scholarship across all disciplines and embrace interdisciplinary initiatives, be a diplomat and advocate for the University of Miami’s cherished values, and be a dynamic and effective leader of whom the entire University can be proud.

The successful candidate will be expected to have had deep experience recruiting, developing, and retaining an outstanding and diverse faculty; elevating the undergraduate student experience, both inside and outside of the classroom; sustaining and expanding the quality and academic reputation of graduate education and professional programs; supporting innovative research and expanding research collaboration across disciplines, schools, and colleges; and develop and implement strategies to increase academic stature, research excellence and funding, and the quality of clinical programs.
