Dean of the School of Environmental Sustainability

Loyola University Chicago invites applications for the position of Dean of the School of Environmental Sustainability (SES). We seek an innovative leader who can take a successful and growing school to its next level. The preferred candidate will have strong administrative experience and excellence in research, teaching, and service in any discipline associated with Environmental Sustainability. SES is an interdisciplinary school whose core identity lies within the environmental sciences, inclusive of ecology, earth sciences, environmental chemistry, biogeochemical science, atmospheric science, and geography. It also has interdisciplinary expertise that draws on the social sciences, most notably environmental economics, land use management, environmental politics and policy, and anthropology, as well as the humanities (theology/ethics and history) and sustainable business. We are searching for a Dean who will further expand the interdisciplinary reach of our expanding school, ensure outstanding academic support and career success for our students, support the faculty’s collaborative and interdisciplinary research and teaching endeavors, promote a staff culture that values community and work-life balance, and enhance the school’s reputation as a regional, national, and international leader in environmental sustainability. As a school situated in the world-class City of Chicago that is dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from under-represented and under-served populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from under-represented groups. The position will start in July 2025.
