Summary Position Profile:

Associate Provost (Graduate Education) & Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

(Internal candidates only)

涩里番 invites applications for the position of Associate Provost (Graduate Education) and Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, a senior academic leadership role responsible for shaping the strategic direction, academic quality, and institutional supports that define graduate education and postdoctoral affairs at 涩里番.

About the Role

Reporting to the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic), and working in close collaboration with the Faculties and other academic units, the Associate Provost & Dean provides University-wide academic and administrative leadership for more than 10,000 graduate students and over 600 postdoctoral fellows across 涩里番鈥檚 eleven Faculties and multiple interdisciplinary programs.

The role is fundamentally collaborative: the Associate Provost & Dean works with Deans, Chairs, Associate Deans of Graduate Studies, supervisors, and program directors to ensure academic excellence, high-quality supervision, strong progression and completion outcomes, and coherent, consistently applied policies for graduate education. At the same time, the role provides distinct and appropriate oversight and tailored support for postdoctoral fellows, recognizing that their training pathways, expectations, and timelines differ from those of graduate students.

Candidate Profile

  • A strong record of scholarly accomplishment, teaching, supervision, and mentorship.
  • Experience in academic administration.
  • Deep understanding of graduate and postdoctoral needs and of 涩里番鈥檚 academic structures and policies.
  • Excellent judgment, integrity, empathy, and communication skills.
  • The ability to work effectively with Faculties, supervisors, students, and postdoctoral fellows.
  • Proficiency in English and French (or a willingness to develop proficiency).

The position is open to internal candidates, preferably from among 涩里番鈥檚 tenured academic staff.

How to Apply

Applications should include:

  • A letter of introduction
  • A curriculum vitae (CV)
  • The names of 5 referees

The deadline to apply is January 7, 2026.

Submit in Confidence To:

Professor Christopher Manfredi
