Dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy

Ncobps, Berkeley, California, United States, 94709


The University of California, Berkeley seeks a visionary and courageous leader and accomplished scholar with a commitment to social and racial justice to serve as the next Dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy.

The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) is built on several distinctive qualities: a strong quantitative core, an analytic “tool kit,” committed faculty, a strong sense of community, and hands-on experience. Recognizing GSPP’s outstanding teaching and research, US News and World Report consistently ranks it as a top tier school, including number one in the nation among its peer institutions for policy analysis in 2020. GSPP leads the way in addressing the problem of inequality in America, improving democratic institutions and governance, dealing with climate change and ensuring environmental justice.

The next Dean will bring the imagination and wherewithal to fully embrace the extraordinary moment in time we are experiencing nationally and globally. They will provide strategic and intellectual leadership for the School, while fully realizing synergies within the School and across UC Berkeley. The Dean will provide adept operational oversight of the School in a complex institutional environment grounded in shared governance and a deep commitment to graduate education. They will actively promote an institutional culture rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The successful candidate will have a record of scholarly achievement that merits a tenured appointment at UC Berkeley at the rank of full Professor and will demonstrate commitment to excellence in the study, teaching, and practice of public policy. The new Dean will demonstrate a record of responsible organizational leadership; success in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion; evidence of, or potential for success in, fundraising; and provide a strong and influential voice for the need to transform our society.

Inquiries, nominations, and applications are invited. Applicants must submit a CV, preferably with a letter of interest, via WittKieffer’s candidate portal or by email. Applicants must also apply directly to UC Berkeley. An earned terminal degree, or the international equivalent, by the time of application is required.

The University of California, Berkeley, is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of diversity.
