Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Director of the Center for Career and Professional Development

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the nation’s oldest technological institute and a top-ranked private technological research university, seeks a highly accomplished leader to serve as the Director of the Center for Career and Professional Development. In May 2000, under the leadership of the Honorable Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D., the Board of Trustees of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute adopted The Rensselaer Plan, setting a bold course of action and signaling a new era in the distinguished history of the Institute. When The Rensselaer Plan was launched, it took the Institute into a new—and transformative—direction, with new priorities, strategic investments, and a vision of a university with global reach and global impact. A greatly enhanced research portfolio is the single most transformational objective of The Rensselaer Plan. As one of its highest priorities, Rensselaer is dramatically expanding the research enterprise by leveraging its existing strengths and focusing on five key signature thrusts: Bioscience, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology; Energy and the Environment; Nanotechnology; Computation and Information Technology; and Experimental Media and the Arts. With this new emphasis, research funding has dramatically increased, the faculty has been significantly expanded, student enrollment and quality are up, and an unprecedented faculty renewal and new construction continues. In 2009, Dr. Jackson and Rensselaer announced the successful conclusion of the largest capital campaign in the University’s history, raising over $1.4 billion, having surpassed the ambitious goal of $1.4 billion in gifts and gift commitments, nine months ahead of schedule, exceeding all previous fund-raising at Rensselaer.

The University offers degrees from five schools: Engineering; Science; Architecture; Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; and the Lally School of Management & Technology; as well as an interdisciplinary degree in Information Technology. For almost two centuries, Rensselaer has maintained its reputation for providing an undergraduate education of undisputed intellectual rigor based on educational innovation in the laboratory, classroom, and studio. The Institute is especially well-known for its success in the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the marketplace so that new discoveries and inventions benefit human life, protect the environment, and strengthen economic development. Rensselaer’s more than 450 faculty members include National Science Foundation Presidential Faculty Fellows, members of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and other eminent professional organizations.

Reporting to the Vice President for Student Life, the Director of the Center for Career and Professional Development is responsible for providing the strategic direction, vision, and leadership to the Center and its seven staff. The Center for Career and Professional Development includes the areas of Employer Relations, On-Campus Recruiting and Technology, Experiential Learning and Cooperative Education, and Career Counseling and Special Programs. Programs and services such as career assistance; counseling, and testing; internship and fellowships; job listings; networking opportunities; on-campus interviewing and employer information sessions; and career and job fairs are provided to undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni of Rensselaer, and the five schools of the Institute. The Director will also oversee the strategic use of the Center’s resources and budget in the expanding efforts to serve students.

The successful candidate will possess a master’s degree and a have significant experience in a leadership role in a complex institution of higher education or a career-related, preferably engineering or science, field. The successful candidate will demonstrate a vision for effective and creative career development; will possess the ability to identify employment and educational trends to meet the changing needs of employers, students, and alumni; will have had experience in fiscal planning and budget management, strategic change management, and in the supervision of staff. Experience in developing strategic partnerships, collaborating with academic affairs, working strategically with employers, and a vision for effective systems for delivering services and meeting the needs of students will be important in the selection of the new Director. Experience in developing corporate funding opportunities and in supporting the development of a broad range of coop and internship endeavors is also a desired set of experiences for this position.

Review of applications will begin March 23, 2012 and will continue until the position is filled.
