CLASS Dean’s Administrative Internship Program

We invite applications for the CLASS Dean’s Administrative Internship program.

This new initiative is designed to mentor CLASS faculty at the associate professor rank interested in administrative roles through a year-long internship in the CLASS Dean’s Office. Successful candidates will be granted a reduced service load at other levels, with details to be determined through discussions between the dean, the candidate and the candidate’s department chair. Some previous administrative experience at the departmental level (Director of Graduate Studies, Director of Undergraduate Studies, etc.) is expected from applicants.

Successful applicants will undergo practical training, gaining insight into several college-level committees (for example, the executive committee, the undergraduate studies committee and the scholarship committee) and attend a budget education session. In the second semester, each intern will be given a substantial college level task to administer, such as coordinating an internship program, administering an award or organizing a major event. A report on this experience will be required by the last day of class, and the Dean’s Office will award a certificate of completion.

Please send a cover letter explaining your interest in college-level administration as well as a current cv to Sally Connolly, Associate Dean for Student and Faculty Success (sconnolly@uh.edu) by Friday 14 June, 5pm. There will be in-person interviews for candidates that proceed to the second round, and a final determination will be made over the summer session so that successful candidates can take up their internship in the fall of 2024.
