Dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies (LA&PS)
York University
Canada, Toronto
York University
Canada, Toronto
York University Dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS) First Nations peoples have lived on this part of Turtle Island for millennia, stewarding the land, the water and all that contributes to life in this region. Today, the culture and presence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples enrich the lands and people of this territory. More than two centuries ago, the Mississauga people welcomed settlers to this territory, providing sustenance and engaging in trade and commerce. Today, York University campuses are located on the Toronto Purchase Treaty No. 13 lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the lands of the Anishinabek of the Williams Treaties First Nations. Our campuses are also situated on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us, those who are here and those who have yet to come. We are grateful for the opportunity to be learning, working and thriving on this land, and we commit to learn the truth and be active in the process of reconciliation. As York University embarks on its next chapter of growth and impact, the University invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS). This pivotal moment calls for bold, globally-minded leadership at an institution recognized for advancing positive change. Canada’s 3rd largest university, York provides scholars and students with access to outstanding research and an exceptional teaching and learning environment. With three campuses in the Greater Toronto Area—one of the most vibrant and multicultural regions in the world—York hosts a diverse and dynamic community of over 53,000 students and nearly 7,000 faculty and staff. Reflecting both its scale and ambition, in recent years the University opened its Markham Campus, unveiled The Joan and Martin Goldfarb Gallery at Keele, and is advancing its School of Medicine; the first in Canada with a core mission to train community-focused primary care physicians, the medical school is set to welcome its first cohort in September 2028. York has also been building on its strong research foundation across all disciplines, with large-scale funded projects, award-winning scholars and groundbreaking research with transformative, real-world impact. The University takes special pride in its distinctive progressive, forward-looking ethos summed up in its motto, Tentanda Via: the way must be tried. Many of the University’s strengths are found in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, York’s largest Faculty and one of the most diverse liberal arts faculties in Canada. It is distinguished by its integration of rigorous liberal arts scholarship with professionally-oriented programs that connect critical inquiry, civic engagement and career-ready learning. Home to approximately 19,000 undergraduate and graduate students, 600 full-time faculty, and 300+ staff, LA&PS brings together the humanities, social sciences and professional fields within an inclusive and student-centred learning environment. Within the Faculty, the LA&PS Colleges (McLaughlin, Founders, New and Vanier) create smaller, supportive communities that offer academic support, co-curricular programs, social events, peer mentorship and leadership development to enrich students’ personal, academic and career success from orientation through graduation. Guided by its values of access, excellence and engagement, the Faculty is dedicated to academic distinction, innovative and experiential teaching and research that advances social justice and global understanding. Through 90 undergraduate programs and certificates and more than 35 graduate programs across 21 departments and schools, LA&PS fosters intellectual curiosity, professional preparation and community connection. Its mission is to educate the whole student—cultivating not only academic success but also social, cultural and personal growth that empowers graduates to make meaningful contributions in Canada and around the world. About the Role and Qualifications Reporting to the Provost & Vice-President Academic, the Dean of LA&PS serves as the Faculty’s principal academic and administrative officer and is a member of the University’s senior leadership team. The Dean will champion the Faculty’s vision and values, advancing excellence in research, teaching and community engagement while supporting an outstanding student experience at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. The Dean will foster interdisciplinary and community-engaged scholarship, support faculty in securing external funding and elevate the Faculty’s national and international profile. While no one candidate is expected to possess the following credentials and/or experiences in equal measure, they will guide the committee’s review of candidates who express interest in the role: An earned doctorate in a relevant discipline and a distinguished record of achievement in research, teaching and service consistent with appointment at the rank of Full Professor, and a commitment to academic excellence; A proven record of academic leadership, ideally within a large and complex environment, with experience overseeing diverse academic units and programs; Demonstrated ability to lead strategic planning and implementation while fostering a culture of collaboration, creativity and transparency; Financial acumen and experience with budgeting, resource allocation and institutional planning; Evidence of success in building and sustaining productive relationships with internal and external partners, including community, government and industry; A track record of promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, Indigenization and accessibility and of engaging diverse communities with respect and integrity; Experience recruiting, developing and retaining faculty, staff and students and in creating inclusive, supportive learning and working environments; Aptitude for fundraising, external relations and representing the Faculty and University on local, national and international stages; and A leadership style grounded in collegiality, listening and shared purpose—demonstrating agility, responsiveness and an investment in people and ideas.
