Dean, Telfer School of Management
The University of Ottawa is an institution located in the heart of the national capital, a short distance from many of Canada's major national institutions. More than 36,000 students live in a dynamic research-intensive environment, characterized by an exceptional cultural and scientific setting (National Library, National Archives, National Research Council, national museums, embassies and foreign cultural services, etc.) where creativity and innovation flourish. As North America's largest bilingual university, we give students the opportunity to study, live and play in English, French or both.
The Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa is uniquely positioned to link with and learn from Canada's leaders. It is the third business school in Canada to achieve the triple crown of business school accreditations - the European Foundation for Management Development (EQUIS), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the Association for MBAs (AMBA) - ranking it among the best business schools worldwide. With some 3,700 students, 185 full- and part-time faculty, 70 administrative staff and 21,000 alumni, the Telfer School of Management is a diverse and vibrant environment that enable students to earn the following degrees: Bachelor of Commerce; Master of Business Administration; Executive Master of Business Administration and Law; Master of Health Administration; Master of Science in Management; and Master of Science in Health Systems.

It is essential that the new Dean demonstrate the leadership skills required to inspire the internal community in pursuit of academic excellence, to recruit and retain the best faculty and students, to define and develop a research profile that is compatible with the School's relationship to the needs of the business and employer communities and that will enhance the reputation of the School and the University and finally, to attract funds from all sources in support of the School's teaching, research and outreach activities.
The successful candidate must possess demonstrated leadership skills, a sense of vision, and a strong record of academic excellence in teaching and research. He or she must be able to elaborate an innovative strategic plan for the School and to ensure its fulfillment. This includes a significant commitment to fundraising and community outreach. The candidate must be familiar with university structures, possess administrative experience, display a high level of interpersonal skills and be able to communicate effectively in English and French. The appointment is a five-year term, renewable.
