Per College Dean

The David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics at Syracuse University seeks a highly accomplished faculty leader, tenurable at the full professor rank, to envision, start, and manage a new high-impact research institute focused on innovation in sport. The College will soon be transitioned to the Falk College of Sport, reflecting Syracuse University's strategic emphasis on sport as a primary focus of interdisciplinary scholarship, academic programs, and student experiences across campus. Outstanding faculty candidates will assist with the development and oversight of an institute that will drive research excellence and innovation in sport and health outcomes, and integrate expertise in sport business, digital media, and technology, among other areas of academic focus. Included in this effort will be a plan for the integration of existing and new Ph.D. programs into the research activities of the institute. As Director, the faculty member will also foster industry-based connections and partnerships to help solve pressing industry challenges and provide a platform to share the most current research findings in sport.
