Vice jobs in United States

Northern Kentucky University (NKU) seeks an academic advocate and transformative leader to serve as Vice Provost for Graduate Education, Research, and Outreach. We are highly engaged with our external partners and community and the new Vice Provost will participate in strategic planning in these spaces.

The three distinct, yet complementary, areas under the Vice Provost's purview come together to create a synergistic portfolio with exciting growth potential in all three areas. The next Vice Provost will champion each of these critical functions while deepening connections, seeing new possibilities, and helping launch new initiatives.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join the ambitious and creative leadership team of a university with great momentum that continues to be on the move.

The Vice Provost will be responsible for directing, advocating for, and strengthening education, research and outreach, and for imagining and pursuing new ways in which these critical functions can contribute to the University's mission. The new Vice Provost will work closely with the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, Instructional Excellence, and Online Programs, as our graduate programs currently enroll approximately 85% of our graduate students in online programs and the rest in traditional or hybrid formats. The Vice Provost will also provide guidance to the multiple centers and institutes on our campus, helping to coordinate our efforts.

As a key member of the Academic Affairs leadership team, the Vice Provost will influence University-wide initiatives as a key thought leader and a driver of transformational initiatives in the University and in the region.
