SUNY Maritime seeks a Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs to serve as the chief academic officer responsible for promoting a rich intellectual life; fostering student success; creating an active learning environment both in the classroom and beyond; and enhancing academic research, scholarship, creative activity, and the diversity of the institution. This creative and visionary individual coordinates and sustains collaborative leadership in accomplishing the vision of SUNY Maritime College. The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs reports directly to the President, serves as a member of the President’s leadership team, and provides executive leadership and supervision to all academic areas of the College including student affairs, admissions, advisement, and records. The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs is charged with promoting a collegial atmosphere and articulating the needs and aspirations of all disciplines to the President and the campus community. The role requires this individual to perform increasingly cross-functional and campus-wide duties to accomplish the strategic goals of the College and meet appropriate measures of performance and effectiveness. The incumbent must be an enthusiastic advocate for the College and foster connection with external partners throughout the world. The Provost plays a key role in articulating the College's message to all constituencies and in advancing its unique mission.
The successful candidate should possess an earned doctorate in an academic discipline or equivalent terminal degree and exhibit understanding and enthusiasm for the College’s mission. Preference will be given to candidates who have the potential and interest to understand maritime industries which undergird the curriculum and will employ many of the graduates of the College. The new Provost should demonstrate success in developing and executing a forward-looking, long-term strategic plan; improving student learning, engagement, retention, and graduation in a diverse setting; and creating and managing budgets for a complex organization. A strong leadership background and a proven record of impact with progressive experience in senior level positions are preferred. The Provost must be able to become familiar with the various licensing and certifications required by the Maritime Administration, the United States Coast Guard and international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization.
SUNY Maritime is located on a 55-acre scenic waterfront property on the outskirts of New York City on the Throggs Neck peninsula. Fort Schuyler houses the Stephen B.
