CEPS offers a full array of undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering, mathematical sciences, computer science, chemistry, earth science and physics and is home to internationally acclaimed research centers in environmental science, space science, and engineering. The College sits within the University of New Hampshire, an R1 University and prestigious Land, Space, and Sea Grant Institution with a growing and dynamic research environment.

 

The Associate Dean for Research will work collaboratively with faculty, college leadership, chairs, center and institute directors, staff, and external partners in industry and education to develop and advance CEPS research initiatives, including perhaps developing new research centers, in support of our strategic vision. This includes connecting expertise across the University to help build collaborations for interdisciplinary research. Additionally, the Associate Dean will be responsible for maintaining and advancing our capacity to obtain and complete externally funded research projects, which in FY21 totaled over $40M including CEPS affiliated centers and institutes.

 

Candidates must have an earned doctorate or the equivalent in engineering, mathematical sciences, physical sciences or computer science and an outstanding research record, commensurate with concurrent appointment as a tenured Associate Professor or Full Professor within an existing CEPS department.

  • The proven ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with a variety of internal and external constituents including federal agencies, industry partners, outside educational systems, and non-profit organizations.
  • A strong record of experience with grants, contract administration and intellectual property agreements.
  • Demonstrated excellence in supervisory skills including interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, and ability to lead interdisciplinary teams with a commitment to creating an environment where undergraduate students, graduate students, and junior faculty can thrive as researchers.
  • A commitment to affirmative action, equal opportunity, diversity, and the highest personal integrity.
  • An entrepreneurial, creative and innovative spirit; comfort with change, ambiguity, and institutional evolution in a fast-paced environment.     

 

The responsibilities of the position include: 

  • Identify and connect CEPS faculty to opportunities leading to advancement of our scholarly reputation and research support both nationally and internationally
  • Oversee allocation of college funds related to research (e.g., faculty startups, grant budgets)
  • Lead professional development activities designed to advance scholarship and build external support (e.g., grant writing, collaboration, dissemination) for CEPS-affiliated faculty
  • Create an inclusive, respectful, and collaborative environment for all CEPS scholars
  • Serve as the CEPS point of contact for the UNH Research Economic Engagement and Outreach Office (REEO) on all matters including the appropriations process, prioritization of institutional research goals, establishment of institutional clusters and transdisciplinary teams, technology transfer initiatives, and industry engagements
  • Raise the profile of CEPS-affiliated research activities and accomplishments.
