The following message is being sent on behalf of Professors Tresa Pollock and Claudio Campagnari, Co-Chairs of the Search Advisory Committee for the Vice Chancellor for Research.
Dear campus community,
We look forward to working with the search committee in the recruitment of our campus’ next Vice Chancellor for Research.
Following the announcement of our search advisory committee and the interim appointment, we are writing to the campus community to share that the search is now publicly available for applications via the UCSB HR portal, and here is the link to the full position profile.
We are partnering with Berkeley Executive Search (BES), an internal executive recruitment team at the UC. They will be a neutral and confidential resource for inquiries and nominations. If you would like to provide your perspectives on the challenges/opportunities and priorities for the role and/or if you would like to nominate your colleagues, please use the search survey from BES or email our BES colleagues at executivesearch@berkeley.
We look forward to receiving your suggestions.
Sincerely,
Tresa Pollock & Claudio Campagnari
Search Co-Chairs
