The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Otago invites applications for the position of Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Division of Humanities.
Established in 1869, the University of Otago is New Zealand's first university and is home to over 20,000 students. As New Zealand's most research-intensive university, Otago fosters a vigorous research culture and excellence in teaching. Otago's researchers and scholars contribute to leading international discoveries and knowledge, to new commercial developments, and to the health, social and cultural well-being of New Zealand and the wider world.
Encompassing a diverse mix of disciplines and professional programmes, the Division of Humanities makes a vital contribution to research, teaching and learning at the University of Otago. It is comprised on seven academic units: the Faculty of Law, the College of Education, Te Tumu: School of Māori, Pacific and Indigenous Studies, the School of Geography, the School of Performing Arts, the School of Social Sciences and the School of Arts.

The Pro-Vice-Chancellor reports directly to the Vice-Chancellor, and provides leadership in a collaborative academic environment, while advancing the Division's commitment to excellence in research-led teaching and the provision of an enriching student experience. As a member of the University senior leadership team, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor also contributes to the wider University's strategy and development.
The successful applicant for this role will be a leading academic with an outstanding international record of peer-reviewed publications. Strong candidates for the position will also have a demonstrated record of academic leadership, display strong interpersonal skills, a genuine interest in others, an open communication style, clear decision-making ability and a collegial leadership style. It is imperative that the successful applicant is able to champion the cause of the Humanities in the public arena.
