Dean, Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy

The Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy (“Heinz College”) seeks an ambitious, entrepreneurial, and intellectually broad-minded dean to lead this singular, distinguished college at a moment of unprecedented consequence, as the very issues that Heinz addresses are poised to shape society as we know it.

The Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University was founded in 1968 as the School of Urban and Public Affairs by Prof. William Cooper, a renowned management scientist and Operations Researcher, to bring a quantitative, multi-disciplinary, analytical approach to studying and solving societal problems. Today, Heinz College is home to two highly ranked graduate schools: the School of Information Systems & Management and the School of Public Policy & Management, and the top ranked undergraduate Information Systems program which is jointly administered with the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

With a world-class faculty trained in a variety of relevant reference disciplines (Computer Science and Machine Learning, Economics, Information Systems, Organizational Behavior, Operations Research and Statistics) Heinz College is a center of excellence combining data science, decision science, and quantitative social science in information systems, public policy, and management education and research. The combination of disciplines and portfolio of educational programs differentiates Heinz College from a “typical” public policy or information school. Traditional policy schools lack Heinz College’s deep strength in artificial intelligence, information technology, and data analytics, while traditional information schools lack Heinz College’s strengths in economics and causal inference. This makes the College uniquely well positioned to lead in a world where data, analytics, and digital technologies are increasingly integrated into all aspects of society.

Faculty at all levels have received prestigious awards such as election to the National Academies of Engineering and Medicine, INFORMS, AMIA, AAAS, and ASA Fellow Awards, the Stockholm Prize (the Nobel Prize of Criminology), the Terry Award from the Academy of Management, Multiple Ken Arrow Awards in health economics, multiple young labor economist awards, the Frandson Award for Literature, and editorships of numerous journals.

Heinz is at the forefront of shaping policy in the age of technology transformation. Its focus is on policy and regulation regarding technology transformation—of work, industries, health care, education, environmental challenges, the management of smart cities—with the goals of mitigating harm, improving equity, and providing more opportunities for all. With transformation related to generative AI and the challenges of inequality and climate change all around us, Heinz couldn’t be better positioned to address today’s biggest issues.

The next Dean will, in concert with the faculty and staff, shape a strategy for Heinz going forward that honors the College’s core values. Heinz’s ambition will continue to require that the Dean attracts the investment essential for a top school from various channels: continued excellence in its programs that attracts top students; innovative partnerships with other schools at CMU; and fundraising that leverages the appetite of believers in Heinz’s impact, from alumni to industry to futurist funders.

The Dean will be both a good strategist, with the skill to identify opportunities, and strong at execution to seize upon them. Likewise, the Dean will value and recognize the importance of excellence in scholarly achievements and will leverage CMU’s collaborative culture by building even stronger relationships with other colleges, institutes, and departments across campus. To maintain the College’s distinctive culture, the Dean must demonstrate a deep appreciation for the multidisciplinary ethos of Heinz.

Initial screening of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Carnegie Mellon will be assisted by Jackie Zavitz, Meghan Ashbrock, and Sulli Cressler of Heidrick & Struggles, Inc.

Nominations and applications should be directed to: CMUHeinzDean@heidrick.com
