Description
The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SSBS) in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for a School Director.
We are seeking exceptional senior candidates for appointment at the rank of Full Professor.
This is an opportunity to take a leadership role in a rapidly growing, socially embedded, innovative School in a nationally and globally engaged R1 research institution.
SSBS transcends disciplinary boundaries and fosters cutting-edge work that engages with the community and the world.
SSBS seeks to recruit and retain a workforce that reflects our commitment to serve the people of our state and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning.
The candidate must be eager to advance ASU’s charter and its commitment to inclusion [https://www.
asu.
edu/about/charter-mission].
We seek a leader who has an open, dynamic, and transformative leadership style, practices transparency and collaboration, and has a track record of institutional advocacy.
The successful applicant will be expected to provide administrative vision, leadership, and management for the School; to contribute to and foster the School’s interdisciplinary teaching and research missions; to engage in research and teaching that complement and strengthen current offerings and emphases in SSBS; to engage undergraduate and graduate students both in teaching and research; and, to coordinate efforts to build on our successful record of acquiring research funding that draws upon the diverse expertise and methodologies of SSBS faculty and strengthens existing and developing initiatives.
Skills in team-building to support initiatives and the ability to envision and pursue new opportunities are essential.
Some recent examples that particularly reflect our commitment to social justice, inclusion, and innovation include the Global Human Rights Hub, Resilience in Social Environments (RISE), and Biological and Behavioral, Computational and Critical (B2C2) Data Initiative, and more.
About the School: The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences offers 16 majors, four graduate programs, six certificates, and 10 minors, and has 77 full-time faculty.
We serve approximately 3,800 undergraduate majors (3,100 online and 700 in person) and 1,100 Masters students (1,000 online and 100 in person).
Students in SSBS are 31% first generation and 42% racial or ethnic minority.
With an academically rigorous, career-focused, student-centered approach, the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences at New College offers an unmatched educational experience.
The mission of the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences is consistent with that of a metropolitan research university.
Our priority is the discovery of new knowledge in all of our degree areas, including: Communication, Conflict Resolution, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Social Data Science, and Social Justice and Human Rights.
We offer minors and certificates in such areas as Public Relations and Strategic Communication, Sociocultural Anthropology, and Diversity and Equity Studies.
Students are encouraged to participate in faculty-student collaborative research projects (e.
g.
, https://newcollege.
asu.
edu/ncuire), to explore cross-cultural and global perspectives, to employ advanced technology, and to apply what they have learned in community-based internships.
A founding premise of the School is that the study of human behavior, social institutions, and culture can be best understood through interdisciplinary perspectives that integrate diverse intellectual and methodological systems of inquiry.
Through challenging coursework, the students and faculty of SSBS seek to understand how the human mind works, how we communicate with one another, how and why we organize into social and political groups as they relate to vital causes and issues, and ultimately how we make sense of our world and the many places we occupy within it.
Members of our School are committed to excellence in teaching and research, and SSBS is proud of the accomplishments of our faculty, students, and graduates.
The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences is one of four schools within ASU’s New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
