National searches for Purdue’s named deanships in Agriculture and in Science; nominations sought
Dear faculty colleagues,
As we move rapidly through our first week back of 2023, I’m writing to announce national searches for named deanships in our College of Agriculture and our College of Science, beginning immediately.
As will be the case with all Purdue dean searches henceforth, these will be fulsome national open searches. We expect to attract many distinguished senior faculty candidates, both external and internal, for these roles. I invite you to submit candidate nominations (including self-nominations) directly to me and ask please that you forward this announcement to colleagues at leading institutions worldwide.
No appointments at Purdue are more critical to the leadership of our research, teaching and engagement missions than deanships such as these. Colleagues in Agriculture and in Science will be receiving regular updates from our two search advisory committees, led respectively by Agriculture co-chairs Clint Chapple, Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry, and Catherine Hill, Professor of Entomology and Department Head; and by Science chair Richard Kuhn, the Trent and Judith Anderson Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences.
Thank you for helping us to recruit and select strong colleagues for these named deanships.
Yours with very best wishes for an intellectually invigorating and productive Spring semester,
Patrick
