Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
Indiana University at Bloomington
Bloomington, IN - United States
Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) seeks a creative, collaborative, and accomplished leader to serve as its Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE). The VPUE advances a vision for campus-wide programs and initiatives that provide academic, classroom, and co-curricular support for undergraduate students, fosters innovation and enrichment in the curriculum, and guides faculty to develop enhanced teaching and pedagogical strategies. The VPUE will assume leadership at a time of great opportunity and momentum at the university.
Tracing its roots back to 1820, Indiana University (IU) has evolved into an influential educational institution, with core campuses at IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis. IU’s Bloomington campus enrolls over 48,000 students who learn, explore, grow, and pursue research in over 100 research centers and institutes, and more than 250 graduate and bachelor’s programs within its 17 schools and colleges. The campus employs more than 3,000 full- and part-time faculty and librarians, more than 2,500 student academic appointees, as well as postdoctoral researchers and research assistants.
Guided by the strategic direction of IU 2030 and today’s dynamic discussions of the influence and use of AI and generational approach to the first-year experience, this is a unique opportunity to provide transformative leadership for campus-wide student support and curricular innovations and initiatives that benefit undergraduate students across IUB. This ambitious agenda will also include the implementation and management of the IUB General Education program. Additionally, the VPUE will oversee cross-institutional curricular conversations and resolutions, including degree articulation and course transfer agreements in conjunction with other IU campuses and the Indiana Commission of Higher Education (ICHE).
The VPUE reports directly to Provost and Executive Vice President Rahul Shrivastav and serves on the provost’s senior leadership team. The position works in close synergy with the academic deans, respective academic units, and other senior leaders on the Bloomington campus, as well as with the Bloomington Faculty Council, faculty policy committees in the academic units, IU Student Government, and other faculty and student leaders across IU.
The successful candidate will possess a demonstrated record of scholarship, publications, or creative works and teaching that merits a tenured or teaching professor faculty appointment as a full professor at IU Bloomington. Additionally, the successful candidate will bring substantial administrative experience; expertise in student attainment and development research along with curriculum and program development expertise; an open, inclusive, and collective leadership style; and the ability to work with faculty, campus and student leaders across diverse academic programs in the context of a large and complex academic institution.
