The University of Vermont ( UVM ), one of the nation’s premier medium-sized public research universities, seeks an accomplished scholar to serve as the next Chair of the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences ( NFS ). NFS is a dynamic, interdisciplinary academic department with expertise in local and regional food systems, community nutrition, food security, weight-inclusivity, innovative food science, and food product development. The Department is uniquely positioned for success at a university that is a pioneer in food systems and sustainability and home to a first-of-its-kind Food Systems Research Center. Students, faculty, and staff have the benefit of working and learning in a college with a multi-perspective approach to human and environmental health that is further complemented by the diverse mix of schools found across UVM – Vermont’s land-grant university and home to the state’s only college of medicine.
Reporting to the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences ( CALS ), the Chair will be responsible for leading a department with a mission to foster the intellectual and professional growth of students through engaged teaching, innovative instruction, and community-based learning opportunities. The Chair will strategically leverage the academic diversity of the department to recruit and develop faculty, build innovative programs that attract students, and forge partnerships with a wide variety of organizations and individuals across the state. The successful Chair will be an innovative leader with an outstanding teaching and research record and demonstrated administrative experience.
The successful candidate will be an accomplished scholar with a strong track record of research and teaching in nutrition or food science. While no candidate will bring all of these experiences and traits, CALS envisions that its next NFS chair will have many of the following: an earned doctorate or equivalent in the field of nutrition or food science or related life science meriting a tenured – preferably full professor – appointment in the department; a seasoned educator; with a track record of high-quality and innovative research, teaching, and advising at the undergraduate and graduate levels; successful administrative expertise, including superb planning, management, and financial skills to lead a multifaceted department; a management style that reflects emotional intelligence, is inclusive and empowers others to succeed, fosters respect, and builds pride in the accomplishment of shared goals; political acumen and an ability to work collaboratively at all levels to advance strategic opportunities for growth; commitment to enhancing and nourishing a cultural climate that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion in all facets; demonstrated ability to identify, recruit, and retain faculty, students, and staff; and an entrepreneurial spirit, highest integrity, and outstanding listening skills, along with superior communication skills, both oral and written.
The University of Vermont is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and inclusive excellence of the academic community through their teaching, service, and research, scholarship, or creative arts. We are an educationally purposeful community seeking to prepare students to be accountable leaders in a diverse and changing world. Members of the University of Vermont community embrace and advance the values of Our Common Ground: Openness, Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Innovation, and Justice. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to the ideals of accessibility, inclusiveness, and academic excellence as reflected in the tenets of Our Common Ground (https://www.uvm.edu/president/our-common-ground) .
