Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs


California State University Long Beach seeks a visionary Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs who is prepared to further advance CSULB as a compassionate, creative, and innovative public comprehensive university. The Provost, the second highest position at the university, will be a trusted partner with the President and provide leadership for day-to-day campus operations while serving on the President's behalf in her absence.

As recently as December of 2020, three national rankings by Money.com place CSULB in the Top 1% of public universities in the nation. For these rankings, Money assessed factors such as educational quality, tuition, financial aid awards, graduation rates, debt load and early-career earnings to yield No. 17 ( Best Public University ), No. 27 ( four-year institutions ranked by value ), and No. 11 ( Most Transformative ) spots. In addition, CSULB is ranked No. 1 in the nation for its impact in driving social mobility, according to a new ranking published by Education Reform Now , a national think tank and advocacy organization for the American public education system.

The new Provost will join a dynamic academic community centered on three core missions: inclusive excellence for all who are here and want to be here; academic rigor for our graduates to leave as highly successful, well-trained professionals; and our campus to engage in public good that directly benefits our neighbors, surrounding communities as well as the people of this region and beyond. The university accomplishes this by providing highly-valued undergraduate and graduate programs through superior teaching, research, and activity that positively impacts our world. CSULB professors' sterling reputation is based on their stellar teaching, research and creative activities. They ensure students are successful by integrating research, creative activities, community engagement and interactive technologies into their teaching.

Candidates must possess an earned doctorate or an appropriate terminal degree and have university teaching experience, service, and a record of scholarly/creative activity suitable for a tenured, full professor faculty appointment in one of the disciplines of the university. In addition, candidates must have substantial and progressive academic management experience and demonstrated success, preferably as a dean, vice president, or provostial level. The successful candidate will also demonstrate success in activities that foster diversity, equity, and an inclusive environment for students, faculty, and/or staff.
