Process

Boston University President Robert Brown, with advice from key trustee, administrative, and faculty leaders, will recommend the successful candidate for University Provost to the Board of Trustees. Nominations and expressions of interest should be addressed to:

R. William Funk
Funk and Associates
100 Highland Park Village
Suite 200
Dallas, Texas 75205
E-mail: bill.funk@rwilliamfunk.com
Fax: 214-295-3312

Mr. Funk is serving as the executive consultant for this search. Associate Provost and Assistant to the President Douglas Sears will oversee the search process for Boston University, coordinating with Mr. Funk. Prospective candidates should include a letter expressing interest and current curriculum vitae. Candidates will be asked to provide references after preliminary review and screening; references will be contacted only with the express consent of the applicant. While nominations and applications will be accepted until a new Provost is selected, interested parties are encouraged to submit their materials before June 30 to assure optimal consideration. Boston University reserves the right to terminate the search at any time or to continue the search until the position is filled. Salary and benefits will be competitive with the responsibilities of a senior position in a major private research university.

Boston University is an equal opportunity employer and actively seeks to recruit candidates of diverse backgrounds.
