Subject: Qatar University Dean Job

Qatar University is seeking an accomplished academic leader to serve as its next Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.  We wondered if you had any friends or faculty colleagues who might be interested in learning more about this outstanding opportunity and welcome your nominations and referrals.
 
Founded in 1977, Qatar University is the only national university in the country.  Located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar has substantial oil and natural gas reserves and is one of the wealthiest states in the world.  The university is comprised of seven colleges offering vibrant undergraduate and emerging graduate programs to 8,000 students. The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest with more than 1,900 students and 256 full-time faculty.   
 
The dean will report to the vice president and work in close partnership with the other deans to shape the future direction of the university’s academic program.  The dean has responsibility for the development of quality academic programs including the proactive pursuit of accreditation for all eligible programs.  He or she will work in close collaboration with faculty to chart the future course of the college within the frame of the vision, mission and strategic plan of the university. The dean directly oversees ten department chairs and several program heads and associate deans.   
 
The next dean will have an earned doctorate and an outstanding record of teaching, research and significant administrative experience that includes planning, managing and allocating budgets and resources.  Superior communication and interpersonal skills are critical.  Familiarity with the culture and region is highly desirable; candidates that are fluent in both Arabic and English are highly preferred.
 
The review of credentials is underway and will continue until the position is filled. We invite you to review the leadership profile at http://www.wittkieffer.com and are happy to answer any questions.  We welcome ideas for prospective candidates and hope to hear from you soon via email at qatarudas at wittkieffer.com.  

Sincerely, 

Alexander (Sandy) Williams and Jane Courson
Witt/Kieffer
