Rutgers University–New Brunswick
New Brunswick, New Jersey
Rutgers University–New Brunswick, seeks a collaborative, dynamic, and visionary leader as the next Dean of the Mason Gross School of the Arts (Mason Gross, or the School). Mason Gross is the flagship arts school of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, a Big Ten research university, and the nation’s eighth-oldest institution of higher learning, serving close to 70,000 students. Mason Gross offers the best of all worlds as it redefines what it means to act as a conservatory within a public research institution. This is an opportunity to lead a rigorous and renowned institution to future growth and innovation.
Founded in 1976, Mason Gross serves a notably diverse cohort of about 1,100 students in its undergraduate and graduate programs. The School's mission is to nurture creative talent and instill the insights and skills that future generations of arts professionals will need to contribute to the creative and scholarly world. Mason Gross benefits from and contributes to the artistic and cultural environment of the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan regions, as well as locally in New Brunswick communities.
Reporting to the Chancellor, the Dean will provide strategic and unifying leadership for the School; provide astute and transparent financial stewardship; recruit, retain, and support excellent faculty; serve as a visible champion for the important and dynamic role of the arts in the University, the New Brunswick community, and beyond; and support a high-performing and diverse team of staff and academic leaders. The successful candidate will possess creative, strategic, and transformational leadership skills to advance the School toward its aspirations and goals; an astute understanding of higher education finances; a talent for fundraising, significant and successful administrative experience, and a track record of working closely with faculty and senior academic administrators; a leadership and management style that is present, accessible, and transparent; a collaborative, collegial approach; and a demonstrated ability to work effectively across all levels of a large, complex organization engaging a broad range of individuals and constituencies.
