The University of Kansas (KU) seeks a visionary, collaborative leader and scholar to serve as its next Dean of the School of Pharmacy.

Founded in 1865, KU is a major public research and teaching institution of 30,770 students and over 3,300 faculty on five campuses (Lawrence, Kansas City, Overland Park, Wichita, and Salina). KU is a center for learning, scholarship, and creative endeavors. Its diverse elements are united by its mission to educate leaders, build healthy communities, and make discoveries that change the world.

The KU School of Pharmacy is a world-class research institution and one of the country's premier pharmacy schools. It trains researchers who help solve the world's most pressing medical problems and elevates workforce development through educating nearly 400 pharmacists who serve the people of Kansas and beyond. With 52 full-time faculty members and FY2023 research funding of over $12 million, the KU School of Pharmacy has been in the top 20 National Institutes of Health-funded pharmacy schools for over 20 years.

Reporting to the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor, the next Dean of the School of Pharmacy is responsible for all school administration matters, including academic programs, research, personnel, budgets, alumni engagement, fundraising, and government and industry relations. The Dean is expected to be an innovative, collaborative leader and a strong advocate for pharmacological research, professional pharmaceutical education, and the school.

The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. or Ph.D./Pharm.D. and be eligible for the academic rank of Professor with tenure. The next Dean will have a track record of excellent academic accomplishments, credentials, external research funding, and national recognition within their field. The successful candidate will have extensive executive and operational experience – including personnel administration, financial/budgeting, and strategic planning – successfully applied in a complex academic organization and have experience gained in a senior-level administrative role, such as Dean, Associate Dean, Department Chair, or Center Director.
