Asian University for Women
The Asian University for Women is a start-up initiative located in Chittagong, Bangladesh. This new university aspires to be
both a center for excellence in education and scholarship, and renowned for preparing women from many nations, cultures,
and socioeconomic backgrounds to be thoughtful and ethical leaders.
The academic programs consist of a rigorous undergraduate program, which is comprised of a liberal arts and sciences core
curriculum and in-depth study in areas such as Politics, Philosophy and Economics, Asian Studies, Biological and Environmental
Sciences, and Computer Science, followed by professional graduate programs in fields such as Entrepreneurship and
Management, Law and Human Rights, and Engineering. Instruction is in English. The University currently operates in rented
facilities while construction of the first academic building on its permanent site is expected to begin in September 2010.
The University seeks an outstanding scholar and dedicated teacher to be the first Dean of the University's newly created
Division of Humanities and Social Sciences. The new Dean will work with the Provost to develop the academic programs in
humanities and social sciences, at the undergraduate and graduate levels, recruit and mentor exceptional faculty in these
disciplines, and build the division into a center both for teaching and for scholarly excellence in areas that seek to address
the challenges of developing Asia.
The position calls for an outstanding academic leader who is interested in the opportunity to contribute to shaping the future
of this new University. This is a senior appointment (rank of professor) and priority will be given to those in Economics and
Asian Studies with an exemplary record of external research funding, proven success as a teacher and mentor of undergraduate
and graduate students, and experience with faculty hiring. Familiarity with and an understanding of developing Asia and an
appreciation of the unique challenges of building a tertiary academic institution in such a setting will bolster the incumbent's
effectiveness. An excellent salary and benefits package will be offered that is commensurate with experience.
