I am pleased to announce that we are now taking applications for the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. This is an internal search, open only to current full-time tenured full professors at Stony Brook.

We have posted information on the position, application process, and search committee on the Provost's Office website, which can be viewed by clicking here. We encourage all interested faculty to apply. The position will close for applications on Monday, April 24.

The Vice Provost for Academic Affairs role will focus on development and refinement of academic policy and procedures with a particular emphasis on promotion, tenure, and re-appointments as well as oversight of curriculum. The primary goal in this vice provost portfolio will be to ensure clarity, consistency, and equity in key academic processes while also seeking opportunities to support excellence in our academic mission and reduce barriers that hinder the success of Stony Brook faculty and staff. 

As we shared in a message earlier this semester, which you can view here, we are creating this position from an open vice provost position and through a rearrangment of current vice provost roles with the explicit goal of aligning these positions with services needed by our academic community. 

The Provost’s Office will share additional information when finalists are selected. Each finalist will make a public presentation to share their vision and we will also seek community input on finalists through feedback surveys with the interview process concluding prior to commencement.

I look forward to sharing more as this search progresses. 

Sincerely,
Carl

Carl Lejuez
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
