- Manage the department’s staffing and financial resources in consultation with the Dean, Institutional Research and the Academic Affairs Budget Director. Advocate for departmental needs with university administration.
- Give thoughtful review and comments to department faculty in areas which encourage pedagogical improvement, applied research, and service including during annual faculty planning and evaluations, promotion and tenure review, sabbatical leave applications, and other internally funded activities.
- Monitor and support student recruitment, enrollment and retention efforts within departmental programs and service courses, in collaboration with Institutional Research and Strategic Enrollment Management.
- Work closely with the Dean and the Advancement Office on activities that involve or have the potential to involve fundraising activities.
- Develop and expand ties and relationships with appropriate partners (including industry, Office for Sponsored Projects, and community organizations) in order to increase opportunities for faculty professional development, student professional experiences and employment opportunities, and equipment donations.
- Teach courses in the chair’s discipline as time permits.
- Other duties may be assigned by the Dean based on strategic priorities of the college and university.
The Department Chair will be based in Klamath Falls, with an expectation of quarterly travel to the Portland-Metro campus in Wilsonville.
