This summer, Colorado State University will conduct searches for two leaders to serve in top administration positions.
The search for CSU’s next provost and executive vice president is underway with an application deadline of July 3, and the search for the vice president for research will open in mid-June with an application deadline at the end of July. Information about the provost search and search timeline is posted at president.colostate.edu/work-with-us, and members of the CSU community are invited to share this link with their networks. The vice president for research search link also will be posted on this site the week of June 12.
The provost and executive vice president is the number two position in the Colorado State University administration and serves as the institution’s chief academic officer. The vice president for research leads the university’s robust research enterprise. The vice president for research and the provost and executive vice president position both will be members of President Amy Parson’s Cabinet and Executive Leadership Team. These positions each will work in concert with the president, deans, vice presidents and the campus community to strengthen the university’s reputation as an internationally recognized land-grant institution of higher education with the highest Carnegie ranking.
