The EPS has changed its name and it also looks for a new Dean. Indeed, the Polytechnic School is named from now on Faculty of Sciences and Technology, a name that better emphasizes its dual character, that includes research, technology transfer and teaching in the areas of biosciences and engineering.
The process includes also the search for a new dean that takes the lead in transforming the center into a reference in its fields of expertise in the Catalan university system, and from it to the rest of the world. The current dean, Dr. Jordi Villà-Freixa, leaves the position to focus on his duties in the Vicerectorate for Research and Faculty.
The Faculty of Sciences and Technology is a vivid center that combines a deep sense of management responsability at all levels, advanced research and knowledge transfer, active outreach programs and multilevel (BSc, MSc and PhD) student-based teaching programs. We search for a proactive dean that will like to combine management of the center activities with her own research.
The application process is open until filled and details can be found at the university “work with us” web site.
