Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean of the School of Engineering.

VCU is located on two downtown Richmond campuses – the Monroe Park Campus and the MCV Campus. As an urban institution of higher learning, VCU and its partners have contributed immeasurably to the development of the fabric of the City of Richmond, transforming it into a center of artistic and cultural growth, business development, and social services. In consequence, the city and its leadership in business, industry, and cultural affairs have given extraordinary support to the university’s growth, complementing the support of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is a diverse cultural city, surrounded by historic neighborhoods, parks and the scenic James River.

VCU is one of the state’s largest universities and ranks among the top universities in the country in sponsored research. It enrolls 32,000 students in 216 certificate and degree programs; 68 of the programs are unique in Virginia, many of them crossing the disciplines of VCU’s 13 academic schools and one college. MCV Hospitals and the health sciences schools of Virginia Commonwealth University compose the VCU Medical Center, one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers. VCU’s third campus is located in Doha, Qatar.
