Search for Vice-President (Marine Institute)
Nov. 8, 2024
The search committee for the vice-president (Marine Institute) has been continuing their work since the last update on June 10, 2024.
A hybrid town hall was held as well as a university wide consultation survey. This was held to help inform the process, including details of the job advertisement and position profile. The search committee would like to thank everyone who participated for the input. There was a planned gap in meetings during the summer months following the consultations to assimilate the feedback and to accommodate the regular semester break for many Marine Institute faculty and staff. The committee reconvened for meetings this fall.
The ad has now been created and last week was posted on Memorial’s website, as well as other career networks. It is available here.
The final part of the search will be open and candidates who are included on the final shortlist will be invited to participate in presentations to the university community, meetings with stakeholders and will be expected to be available for in-person visits. The committee will begin reviewing candidate materials in December and will meet again in January to discuss the candidate pool and next steps. Consideration of candidates will continue until the position is filled.
