This role ensures the curriculum, student experience, and co-curricular offerings remain innovative, market-responsive, and grounded in both emerging technologies and essential human skills such as communication, adaptability, ethical decision-making, and collaboration. Working closely with faculty, staff, industry partners, alumni, and campus stakeholders, the Associate Dean advances academic preparation, professional development, experiential learning, and forward-looking program design to prepare students for success in a dynamic business environment. The position oversees the Undergraduate Program Office (UPO) across four key verticals—admissions and financial aid; advising; career services; and student experience, including the signature experiential learning program, Tippie RISE, the emotional and mental wellness program, Tippie Thrive, and the high school transition program, Tippie Gateway. The Associate Dean is responsible for overseeing program planning, budgeting, operational alignment, and service excellence. Success in this role depends on the ability to effectively lead and collaborate with a highly skilled staff and fostering a culture of respect, trust; and accountability with students, faculty, staff and constituents across the university and beyond in the educational ecosystem. This is a 100%-time fiscal year appointment. The associate dean position includes an administrative stipend and reduced teaching and research. For tenured faculty the position is 80% administration and 20% research appointment, and 80% administration and 20% teaching (two courses) for instructional or clinical track faculty. The administrative appointment is at will with a renewable three-year term. Current Tippie College of Business faculty on the following tracks are eligible for consideration: Tenured faculty, Clinical-track faculty (associate level and higher), and Instructional-track faculty (associate level and higher). Faculty outside of the University of Iowa are also eligible for consideration with rank that would allow appointment at the rank of associate level or higher on the tenured, clinical, or instructional track in one of the six academic departments in Tippie. The associate dean’s faculty rank and salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. The selected candidate will be appointed within one of Tippie’s six academic departments at a rank of an associate level or higher on the tenured, clinical, or instructional track based on their experience and qualifications. Appointment with tenure is possible if the associate dean already has a distinguished teaching, research, and service record that meets the standard tenure requirements for all tenured Tippie College of Business faculty. The college’s primary aim, however, is to recruit a leader and faculty colleague who will execute the associate dean’s administrative and teaching responsibilities with great effectiveness.
