In addition, the successful candidate will demonstrate a superior capacity to represent the institution externally in matters of graduate education. Since, for the time being, the Provost continues to delegate to the Dean of Graduate Studies duties formerly conducted by an Associate Vice-Rector, Academic (Research), the candidate must have evident capacity to help the Provost facilitate and coordinate efforts at the Faculty level to institute services and programs to encourage and support research; – assure that the research programs are supported by appropriate services at the University-wide level so as to maximize Concordia’s success in obtaining research funding; – assist the Provost to represent and lobby for the interests of Concordia research development to governments, external granting agencies and other universities, as well as societal stakeholders and beneficiaries of university-based research. The successful candidate will have had a superior career as a university teacher and researcher, evident managerial, communication and people skills. The successful candidate must be able to function effectively in both English and French-speaking contexts. You are invited to contribute toward the development of a candidate profile by commenting on this draft profile. Please contact Ann M. Bennett, Rector’s Cabinet, Loyola Campus, Rm: AD-224, amb@alcor.concordia.ca. Dean, John Molson School of Business Profile of ideal candidate Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business is one of the most respected and largest business schools in Canada and one of the few schools accredited by the AACSB. The Faculty places strong emphasis on research, scholarship and on pursuing an intellectual climate in which varied inquiry about theory and practice of organizational systems can flourish. Concordia is recognized for its tradition of offering accessible, flexible, and relevant commerce and administration programmes. The Faculty strives for excellence and innovation in its undergraduate programmes in administration and commerce; its graduate Diplomas (in Accountancy, Administration, and Sports Administration); its MBA, Executive MBA, and Aviation MBA in partnership with IATA; and its MSc and PhD in Administration. As an urban business school, we welcome a bilingual, multicultural constituency and enjoy a high level of ethnic and cultural diversity among our student body (5,000 students) and faculty (approximately 250 full- and part-time positions). The Dean is an academic leader of the Faculty and, as such, must demonstrate a commitment to the values and mission of Concordia University. The ideal candidate for the position is an innovative, flexible, and visionary leader who is sensitive to the changing nature of higher education. This position demands an experienced individual capable of providing dynamic leadership to the Faculty. The Dean is responsible for all aspects of faculty administration and should strive to maintain the highest academic standards. Leadership – Entrepreneurial leadership with a keen understanding of strategic academic planning and its implementation. – A strong commitment to student, staff, and faculty development, and to student life at the University. – The courage to make difficult decisions that are in the best interests of the Faculty and University as a whole. – Proven excellence in, as well as a strong commitment to, research and teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. – The ability to foster teaching and research excellence among members of the faculty. Professional Qualifications and Credibility – An earned doctorate in a relevant discipline. – Demonstrated scholarly productivity and participation in the life of the academic community. – Superior oral and written language skills. Since the Dean serves as a spokesperson and advocate for the Faculty both within and outside the University, the ideal candidate should also be able to communicate clearly in both English and French in order to represent the Faculty at all levels. – An understanding of the role of international business education and research in the global economy. – An interest in balancing traditional business education with evolving market needs in areas such as information technology and entrepreneurship. – A strong commitment to participatory decision-making, diversity, and employment equity. – A clear appreciation of personal and academic ethical and moral codes. – The ability to establish an environment of trust through personal integrity and credibility. Interaction with the External Community A commitment to the links between the Faculty and the local, national, and international business communities. Interests in linkages with governmental agencies and other institutions of higher learning. Interpersonal and Management Skills – Proven ability in managing people and resources of a large Faculty. – Demonstrated capability to work as a team member with the senior administration and facilitate teamwork in others. – Skills in negotiation, mediation, and problem solving. – Dedication to collegial and consultative decision-making approaches. – Ability to delegate responsibility and authority to members of the decanal team, Chairs, and Directors. Comments of the above may be sent to Heather Adams-Robinette, assistant to the secretary of the Board of Governors and Senate. She can be reached at heather.adams-robinett@concordia.ca or 848-4853. |
