The Position:

This is a once-in-a-career opportunity for an accomplished and driven leader
to influence the future of chiropractic education. The inaugural Executive Dean for the College of Chiropractic Education is charged with
creating the future of chiropractic education at SCU, building upon the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic’s 100+ year history to establish
Southern California University of Health Sciences as the leading chiropractic institution. The ideal candidate is an effective
academic leader, a capable business unit manager, and a forward thinker.

The creation of the College of Chiropractic Education is
prompted by the University’s growth and strategic priorities. The Executive Dean will a) oversee the geographic expansion of chiropractic
education to three additional locations outside California including hiring and mentoring program directors for each location b) oversee a
major program redesign to ensure the Doctor of Chiropractic is a leading high-quality, relevant, innovative, and accessible program c) work
with the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic faculty and administration to identify and address opportunities to improve the faculty
experience d) engage with the SCU Health Services and the Center for Interprofessional Education to identify opportunities to break down
silos and improve the student experience e) enthusiastically and capably represent the profession and program nationally to accreditors,
professional associations, state licensing bodies, and other external agencies f) maintain and build enrollment to continue LACC’s long
history of preparing integrative, evidence-based chiropractors.

In overseeing the program redesign, the Executive Dean will build on
the successful model of other healthcare professions like Physical Therapy to explore accelerated, hybrid, and other innovative models of
delivery.

The Executive Dean will join a team of highly committed colleagues dedicated to growing the University while maintaining
its successful student outcomes and unique, collaborative, supportive campus community. The University was commended by its accreditation
agency WSCUC and by the Council on Chiropractic Education for its strong commitment to its mission and values including interprofessional
education and integrative, whole-person health; the dedication of its faculty and staff to continuous improvement; its significant
investments in personnel and technology; its collaboration across departments to address achievement gaps and provide academic support
throughout the student experience; and a responsive and dedicated staff who care deeply about the success of faculty, students, and the
institution as a whole. The Executive Dean will be expected to build upon the solid foundation of academic excellence built over the
University’s 100+ year history and be a champion of whole-person health.

The Executive Dean will report to the Vice Provost under a
multi-college structure that includes the new College of Chiropractic Education (COCE) as well as the College of Health Professions (COHP),
College of Medical Sciences (COMS), and Center for Interprofessional Education (CIPE).

Remote Opportunity: This
position will require building strong relationships across the campus and nationally. Candidates for this position will have the option to
work on campus, hybrid, or in a fully remote capacity. Travel to the main campus in Whittier and to future learning sites is expected to
build relationships and attend key events and meetings. Travel costs will be budgeted for and covered by the University.
