California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) seeks an inspirational leader for Dean of the College of the Arts (COTA). Reporting directly to the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean leads the College staff and department chairs in managing the College's fiscal resources and personnel; recruiting, evaluating and retaining a well-qualified and diverse faculty and staff; developing effective student recruitment and retention programs in the College; and fund raising to support the College's academic programs, research, performance, and exhibition activities.

COTA (https://www.csulb.edu/college-of-the-arts) is California's largest and most comprehensive publicly funded college for the arts, with approximately 7,500 graduate and undergraduate students.

COTA includes the Departments of Dance, Design, Film and Electronic Arts, and Theatre Arts, as well as the School of Art, the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum, and the Carpenter Performing Arts Center (CPAC). The College features seven different performance venues seating 2,500 patrons, and multiple exhibition spaces offering more than 9,600 square feet of designated areas for art and design installations and shows. These facilities annually house approximately 500 arts and arts-focused events and welcome more than 150,000 audience members and exhibit visitors to the CSULB campus.
