We have an internal executive search services in our University HR office here at NCSU, so we did not go externally for our search this past summer. Attached, please find the job description/"prospectus" that our internal search group used for our position, which is Associate Dean and Director.

Also, if you want to contact our Search Services director to ask some questions or maybe get a referral for a good higher ed. search firm, please contact Justin Lang ([log in to unmask], 919.513.1963). He may have some insight on leads.

Greetings,

I hope this finds each of you doing well. I am wondering if any of you have experience using an executive search firm for a higher level position at your university. If so, can you share the contact information? Additionally, I’m wondering if anyone has a job description for their Dean and/or Director of Extension position. We are in process of beginning a search for our next Director of Extension here in Alabama. Any information you could share is appreciated.

Thanks.

Chris
