Iowa State University, one of the nation’s leading land-grant institutions, seeks nominations and applications for the position of Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Director of the Iowa Agricultural and Home Economics Experiment Station. Iowa State seeks a proven leader who can build upon the College’s strengths in plant and animal sciences, food and human nutrition, agricultural and biosystems engineering, social sciences, life sciences, and natural resources management in Iowa and throughout the world. Given these strengths, the Dean should effectively promote and champion the College to internal and external stakeholders, exhibit a passion for the convergent disciplines that fuel its success, and create a clear, strategic vision for advancing its research, teaching, and extension activities. Apart from the significant amount of unrestricted funds to use at the Dean’s discretion, the successful candidate will hold the Endowed Deanship, a $4 million endowment of which the proceeds are used solely to support the Dean’s priorities for the college.
