Associate Vice President/Associate Vice Provost for Community - Engaged Scholarship

Duke University seeks a strategic and visionary leader to serve as its Associate Vice President/Associate Vice Provost for Community-Engaged Scholarship. Reporting to the Vice President for Community Affairs and the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies, and in partnership with the Faculty Director, the AVP will launch the Duke Center for Community Engagement. Building upon Duke’s legacy of commitment to research and the regional community, the AVP will identify and cultivate ongoing partnerships to amplify the strategic goals and mission of the DCA. As well, the AVP will provide strategic leadership for key DCA community programs that connect Duke students and recent graduates directly to educational initiatives.

Tracing its origins to 1838, Duke University has evolved into one of the world's leading institutions for education, research, and patient care. Located in Durham, North Carolina, in the heart of the Research Triangle, Duke is comprised of two major organizations: Duke University and Duke University Health System. Duke has been named as a best place to work by several publications and organizations, including Forbes and Newsweek, among others. Duke has more than 17,000 students who study and conduct research in its 10 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools, as well as a broad array of interdisciplinary institutes, initiatives, and centers. With more than 47,000 employees, Duke is the third largest private employer in North Carolina, and it now has international programs in more than 150 countries.

Duke Community Affairs forges purposeful partnerships within its neighboring region to improve health and well-being in the community. DCA launched its first Strategic Community Impact Plan to bring together community voices and Duke’s resources to create a community engagement strategy that maximizes impact and improves wellbeing. With Durham as a major hub of Duke’s work, the plan has identified five community-driven focus areas and associated priorities to guide their engagement efforts, including housing, health, education, employment, and community. 

The Center for Community Engagement is a new Center, established on the foundations of DCA in conjunction with the Office of the Provost, that will launch in Fall 2024. A Duke University Board of Trustees task force and a faculty and staff working group have developed key priorities for the Center. The AVP will be responsible for implementing these plans by aligning resources, developing relationships, and integrating the Center into the fabric of the university. Additionally, the AVP will guide educational outreach programs spanning pre-k, K-12, and college-readiness in Durham and beyond.

The AVP will be joining DCA during a pivotal time in its ongoing commitment to support the region through intentional partnerships with the academic and local communities. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience in: establishing and sustaining equitable partnerships between an institution of higher education and community organizations; and navigating complex environments in a university setting, preferably through leadership of a community engagement center. We are looking for a collaborative leader with a proven track record of building trust, inspiring faculty, staff, and students, and contributing to the national dialogue about co-created, community-engaged scholarship.

This is a full-time position, located in Durham, North Carolina. The compensation will be commensurate with experience and is enhanced by a generous benefits package. Duke University offers a variety of extensive benefits and perks to employees of all classifications.
