The University of Tennessee System seeks a President to lead this internationally-renowned enterprise with campuses in Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Martin, a Health Sciences Center in Memphis, and statewide Institutes of Agriculture and Public Service, and the Space Institute in Tullahoma that is managed by the UT Knoxville College of Engineering.  Encompassing 48,000 students, over 320,000 alumni, 4,400 faculty members, 16,000 total employees, and a budget of nearly $2 billion, the system is a significant contributor to the welfare of the people of the State of Tennessee and beyond.  The UT Board of Trustees seeks a President who will catalyze its continued ascendance in academic reputation nationally and internationally and will augment its impact on workforce and economic development across the state reflective of the diversity within the State and the nation.

Founded in 1794, the University of Tennessee has grown over more than two centuries into a model group of research and teaching institutions serving one of the nation’s most diverse states.  The President of the University of Tennessee System is one of that state’s most visible leaders and is its most prominent spokesperson for higher education.  Working closely with the UT Board of Trustees and with political and economic leadership across the state, the President will set an agenda that ensures and augments UT’s status as institutions of choice for students and a sought-after source of research and scholarship.  Among the University’s assets in this pursuit is its partnership (as UT-Battelle) in the management of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, whose board the President co-chairs and whose relationship with the University has been formalized for the next five years; a land-grant institution with major research status; a statewide agriculture research extension; a statewide public service institute; a metropolitan university; a regional university; and an academic medical center.

Individuals with significant and recent experience leading a complex and comprehensive institution, including a commitment to shared governance, will be distinctly advantaged.   Facility with the fiscal issues attendant with leading such an institution will be of crucial importance.  The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to manage all the units of the University described above.  An earned terminal degree is preferred.
