The University of Nebraska–Lincoln seeks faculty applicants for the Big Ten Academic Alliance’s Academic Leadership Program.
The program is designed to further develop the abilities of participants to be effective academic leaders at all levels of research universities. It is intended to help developing leaders understand the university as a dynamic and inclusive institution and build awareness of the diverse, complex, and changing landscape of higher education while exploring their role in that landscape.
Ideal candidates will have a strong interest in academic leadership and some leadership experience.
Up to five fellows will attend a combination of virtual and in-person events with the program. They will also participate in conversations on campus throughout the academic year with members of the university's leadership team. Applicants must be available for all scheduled programming: a virtual welcome session on Sept. 18 followed by in-person seminars Oct. 22-24 at Michigan State University, Feb. 11-13, 2027 at Northwestern University, and April 8-10, 2027 at University of Michigan.
Interested applicants should complete an online application, which includes submitting their letter of interest and current curriculum vitae, by March 31. They should also request that a brief letter of support for their application be sent by their department executive officer or dean to facultyaffairs@unl.edu by March 31.
