Department Head
The University of Minnesota seeks a vibrant leader for the Department of Forest Resources who will lead our department in building on our traditional strengths in silviculture, forest ecology, forest mensuration, human dimensions of natural resources, natural resource policy and economics, and remote sensing and our newer strengths in urban forestry and tribal natural resource management to grow our role as a regional, national, and international leader in research and education related to forestry, natural resources, and the environment. This leader will work closely with current faculty, including a large cohort of energetic and highly qualified new faculty, college leadership, constituents, and funders to ensure continued success of the department in serving partners, rightsholders, and students in Minnesota and beyond with the goal of contributing to human and natural thriving in an era of rapid global change.
The University of Minnesota invites qualified candidates to apply for the position of Department Head with Faculty Rank within the Department of Forest Resources. The Department Head reports to the Dean of CFANS and partners with University of Minnesota Extension to accomplish departmental goals and objectives and to deliver nationally and internationally recognized programs in teaching, research, extension, and outreach, including the work at affiliated centers.
The Department Head is the lead academic and strategic officer for the department who works to recruit, mentor, and retain outstanding faculty, graduate students, and academic staff in a set of related disciplines in addition to serving as the administrative leader of departmental programs. In collaboration with college support divisions, the Department Head has responsibility for planning, fiscal management, personnel, and facilities.
