Mercer University seeks an outstanding individual to become the next Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The Dean is the chief academic and administrative officer for the College and reports directly to the Provost.
The anticipated start date is July 1, 2024.
Located on the 130-acre campus in Macon, Georgia, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the growing, dynamic, and diverse cornerstone of the University's undergraduate presence as well as its oldest and largest academic division.
With a deep commitment to liberal education, over 130 full time faculty members offer nearly 40 academic programs in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences.
Additionally, the faculty provide the general education of the 3,400 traditional students enrolled in the College and in the other four Macon traditional undergraduate schools (business, education, engineering, and music).
The College upholds Mercer's fundamental commitments to academic excellence and service.
In the past five years, Mercer students have earned twelve Goldwater Scholarships, twenty Fulbright Scholarships, eleven NSF Graduate Research Fellowships, seven Critical Language Scholarships, and dozens of other nationally-competitive fellowships and scholarships.
Mercer is the nation's top producer of Gilman Scholars among schools with fewer than 5,000 undergraduates.
Mercer is also one of only three Georgia universities that both shelter a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and hold membership in the Georgia Research Alliance.
With respect to service, the University has aided the revitalization of local historic neighborhoods, funded rural health clinics throughout the state, and deployed faculty and students to 45 international locales via its global service program, Mercer On Mission.
Mercer University affirms the practical, world-changing benefit of the liberal arts and sciences alongside the traditional benefit of self-development.
With 9,100 students enrolled in twelve colleges and with campuses in Macon, Atlanta, Savannah and Columbus, Mercer has an extensive and robust footprint in Georgia.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is located 80 miles south of Atlanta in Macon (pop.
150,000), a beautiful metropolitan area enjoying an internationally recognized renaissance.
Macon boasts historic architecture, a revitalized downtown, a vibrant arts and music scene, a demographically diverse community, and the United States' next national park.

Finally, the Dean represents the College in Deans' Council meetings, serves as liaison to the Provost's Office, and works with a variety of other offices within the University (e.
