Following last month’s announcement of a modified organizational structure within the Office of the Provost, Rafael L. Bras, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs, recently issued an open call for two newly created leadership positions.
In a Jan. 13 message to faculty, Bras said he was accepting applications for the positions of vice provost for Undergraduate Education and vice provost for Graduate Education and Faculty Affairs. Both individuals will serve as members of the president’s cabinet.
The changes reflect feedback received through an internal review including interviews with key stakeholders, and in particular, the leadership of the colleges, which suggested the growing size and differing needs of the undergraduate and graduate student populations merited individual attention.
The revised structure also provides greater support and advocacy for the interests of faculty members and postdoctoral fellows.
While nominations will be received until the roles have been filled, it is requested that interested faculty members identify themselves no later than Wednesday, Feb. 15.
