Duke University seeks a strategic and visionary leader to serve as its Associate Vice President / Associate Vice Provost for Community-Engaged Scholarship.

Reporting to the Vice President for Community Affairs and the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies, and in partnership with the Faculty Director, the AVP will launch the Duke Center for Community Engagement.

Building upon Duke’s legacy of commitment to research and the regional community, the AVP will identify and cultivate ongoing partnerships to amplify the strategic goals and mission of the DCA.

The AVP will provide strategic leadership for key DCA community programs that connect Duke students and recent graduates directly to educational initiatives.

The Center for Community Engagement is a new Center, established on the foundations of DCA in conjunction with the Office of the Provost, that will launch in Fall 2024.

A Duke University Board of Trustees task force and a faculty and staff working group have developed key priorities for the Center.

The AVP will be responsible for implementing these plans by aligning resources, developing relationships, and integrating the Center into the fabric of the university.

Additionally, the AVP will guide educational outreach programs spanning pre-k, K-12, and college-readiness in Durham and beyond.

The AVP will be joining DCA during a pivotal time in its ongoing commitment to support the region through intentional partnerships with the academic and local communities.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience in establishing and sustaining equitable partnerships between an institution of higher education and community organizations, and navigating complex environments in a university setting, preferably through leadership of a community engagement center.

We are looking for a collaborative leader with a proven track record of building trust, inspiring faculty, staff, and students, and contributing to the national dialogue about co-created, community-engaged scholarship.

This is a full-time position, located in Durham, North Carolina. The compensation will be commensurate with experience and is enhanced by a generous benefits package.
