Consultations and update: search for vice-president (Marine Institute)

The search committee for the next vice-president (Marine Institute) has been continuing their work since the committee was announced on March 22.

The committee has decided the search process will be supported by the Department of Human Resources’ senior leadership recruitment team and an external search consultant will not be used.

Over the coming weeks, the committee will consult with the university community and key stakeholders to gather feedback to inform this search.

This includes a hybrid town hall, which will be hosted on Friday, June 14, from 12 - 1:30 p.m. at Hampton Hall at the Marine Institute and on Webex. To register, please click here. All faculty/instructors, staff and students of Memorial are welcome to attend in person or virtually.

Additionally, feedback is welcomed via this online survey, which will close on June 28 at 5:00pm. The committee also welcomes feedback sent to VPMIsearch2024@mun.ca at any time.

The search committee will confidentially consider this feedback as they prepare the advertisement and candidate brief. This will be an international search and the posting is anticipated to begin early this Fall.  

More information will be shared in September.

Search committee members are:

• Neil Bose, president and vice-chancellor pro tempore (chair)
• Ann Lynn Anstey, MI staff member
• Kiley Best, MI research and technical personnel
• Ross Butler, MI advisory board member
• Katie Cousens, MI undergraduate student
