Best,

Faculty Opening
Head, School of Design
Carnegie Mellon University is inviting applications for the position
of Head of the School of Design.
At Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design, we believe design to be a
humanistic discipline, the art of conceiving,
planning, and shaping products that are made to serve the needs and
desires of people. We believe that
design will change the world, a world that values the quality of
people’s lives in balance with a healthy and
sustainable planet. We build on the humanistic, artistic, and
scientific strengths of Carnegie Mellon as a
leading research university, to identify and address new problems as
they emerge.
The person filling this position must be able to work effectively
with a wide range of people: faculty, staff,
students, alumni, donors, university leaders, parents and friends of
the University. The position requires
effective decision-making, consultative problem solving, creative
management, embracing of new technology,
and a high level of energy, dedication, and passion for the future
of design.
The Head must be able to represent Carnegie Mellon Design to the
outside world, advocate for design at the
university level, and speak clearly to constituents within the
College of Fine Arts. The Head should have a
visionary approach to design research and the education of designers.
The ideal candidate will bring to the position a strong professional
background, excellent management skills,
the proven ability to gain and manage resources, and a record of
successful leadership. Evidence of visionary
thinking and the highest standards of design excellence are essential.
Excellence in design may be demonstrated through the proven track
record of an inspired practitioner and/or
teacher, researcher, and administrator. The individual should have
potential for teaching, research and
professional activities at the rank of Tenured Full Professor.
Review of applications begins December 15, 2008 until position is
filled for an optimal start date of July 1,
2009.
Interested candidates should submit a statement of teaching,
research, and/or professional activities,
reasons for wanting to join our School, current curriculum vitae,
and names of five references with contact
