Job Title:Associate Vice President of Institutional ResearchJob Summary:

Miami University invites nominations and applications for the Associate Vice President (AVP) for Institutional Research and Effectiveness.

Miami University, ranked as a Top 50 National Public University, is one of the oldest public universities in the country, chartered in 1809 and welcoming its first students in 1824. Deemed as an inaugural Public Ivy institution, Miami University maintains that esteemed distinction today as a highly respected public institution of higher education that is recognized for outstanding undergraduate education and selective graduate and research programs. Deeply committed to student success, Miami builds strong student and alumni loyalty and empowers its students, faculty, and staff to become engaged citizens who use their knowledge and skills with integrity and compassion to improve the future of our global society. Miami effectively combines a wide range of strong academic programs with faculty who love to teach and the personal attention ordinarily found only at much smaller institutions.

The new AVP will be joining Miami at a time of enormous opportunity and potential impact. Under the leadership of President Greg Crawford and Provost Jason Osborne, Miami University is engaged in a transformative and data-informed strategic effort to raise the University’s national profile by further strengthening student success, expanding graduate programs, increasing research productivity, and enhancing its relationship with the local community. This effort is guided by the university’s strategic plan, MiamiRISE and a recently established $50 million research and development initiative called Boldly Creative. This successful individual will lead in gathering information to ensure high levels of student success and to rethink and transform the way data is conceived, interpreted, communicated, and delivered.

Duties/Physical Demands:

The AVP will provide outstanding leadership for managing and communicating accurate institutional data for a wide range of uses: budgeting and financial planning; enrollment projections; scorecards for productivity analyses; research funding; student retention and success; federal reporting (e.g., IPEDS, USNWR, CUPA, Title IX, AAUP); state reporting (ODHE, HEI, NC-SARA); regional and specialty accreditation reporting; academic program review; assessment of program outcomes; salary analyses; survey administration (internal and external); and other projects. Through leadership and service on key university and statewide committees, this person will shape the use of data as a key influencer of university planning and decision support. The AVP will manage an operation that must both meet new institutional challenges for analytics and continuing responsibilities related to accountability and evaluation, in addition to institutional reporting to regulatory bodies.

Minimum Qualifications:

The next AVP will have a master’s degree in an appropriate/related discipline with a minimum of five years combined progressive/increasing experience in institutional research and assessment or related field.

Organization

Nationally recognized as one of the country's most outstanding undergraduate institutions, Miami University is a public university located in Oxford, Ohio (35 miles north of Cincinnati), with regional locations in Hamilton, Middletown, and West Chester, Ohio, and the John E. Dolibois European Center in Luxembourg. Miami combines a wide range of strong academic programs with the personal attention ordinarily found only at much smaller institutions. A liberal education core complements the more specialized studies of the majors.

Along with an impressive number of opportunities to gain practical, hands-on and immersive experiences, Miami is distinguished by a faculty who enjoy teaching and mentoring students. Recognized as a "Public Ivy" by Richard Moll in his 1985 book about America's flagship universities, Miami is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s best schools for “unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching.” This commitment to teaching is demonstrated in the University's record of exceptional retention and graduation rates-which are among highest for NCAA Division I schools. Miami also regularly ranks among the top public doctoral university in the country for study abroad participation by undergraduate students.

Chartered in 1809, Miami is the 10th oldest public university in the nation. Enrollment includes almost 15,000 undergraduates and more than 2,200 graduate students on the Oxford campus, which is lauded for its exceptional beauty. The charming, historic uptown area of Oxford is adjacent to the campus.

Miami offers bachelor degrees in over 100 areas of study and master's degrees in more than 50 areas; the University also offers a number of doctoral degrees.
