SUNY is the largest comprehensive public university system in the United States. It was established in 1948 and
consists of 64 universities located within the State of New York.
SUNY Korea was established in March 2012 as the first American university founded in Korea’s only smart city,
Songdo. The setting is exceptional for a university that aspires to be a hub for global education, research and
innovation. The SUNY Korea campus is located within a 3.5 hours flying time to cities and regions that include
1/3 of the world’s population; its surroundings are designed to allow higher education institutions, government
agencies, global corporations and international organisations to create enhanced synergy.
SUNY Korea is now seeking to appoint a new Provost and Senior Vice-President for Academic Affairs. This is an
excellent opportunity to advance the university’s profile and standing by growing our portfolio of inspiring
academic programs in research and education. Candidates will have an established record of fine scholarship, a
demonstrated capacity for successful academic administration working collaboratively with various campus
constituencies; a strong sense of academic entrepreneurship, innovation and vision; experience in facilitating
quality teaching; and an unwavering sense of ethics and commitment to the importance of consultation and
integrity in the handling of all academic matters. Understanding of Korean and American cultures is desirable.
