Canada’s Capital University, Carleton University, is a dynamic research and teaching institution committed to the highest standards of scholarship. Central to this commitment is the achievement of world-class standing for the Eric Sprott School of Business.

The University seeks an inaugural Dean to lead the School to this objective. Named for a leading alumnus and major donor, the Eric Sprott School of Business has a substantial endowment and the capacity for significant additional fundraising.

The Dean will have a unique opportunity to build the new Faculty. As a member of Carleton’s leadership team, and with the full support of the President and the Vice-Presidents, the Dean will demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit in generating the resources and growing the Eric Sprott School of Business strategically over an initial term of five years.

The Eric Sprott School of Business is committed to the application of integrated knowledge to deal effectively with the complex issues faced by managers in the global economy. Working with businesses and public institutions in the nation’s capital and globally, the School provides state-of-the-art resources for innovative programs and a prolific, leading-edge research community. The School offers comprehensive undergraduate and MBA programs, an executive training arm, and one of Canada’s largest doctoral programs.

Carleton University takes full advantage of the outstanding resources found in the nation’s capital, and is an international leader in a number of important fields. With 800 full-time faculty, 1,250 teaching assistants, and 915 administrative staff supporting nearly 23,000 students, including some 3,000 graduate students, Carleton offers a vibrant work and learning community. Its operating budget for 2004/2005, exclusive of ancillary operations, was $240 million, and sponsored research income reached $75 million in 2004.

With a record of scholarship or creative professional activity consistent with the rank of Professor in a research-intensive university, the Dean will possess a demonstrated commitment to excellent education, to exemplary management practice, to the value of scholarship in enhancing practice, and to working with business and institutional communities. Candidate consideration will begin in February 2006, with an appointment being made, ideally, in Spring or Summer 2006.
