About the Opportunity: Northeastern University is seeking nominations and applications for the position of School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SOPPS) Dean. The SOPPS is one of four schools within the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University, including the schools of Community Health and Behavioral Sciences comprising two departments; Clinical and Rehabilitation Sciences comprising three departments; and Nursing. The SOPPS is recognized as a leader and innovator in training and education of practice-ready pharmacists (Pharm.D.) and pharmaceutical scientists (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) through a unique cooperative educational (co-op) model in the leading Boston biotech, pharma, and healthcare environment. Additionally, research training in basic and clinical sciences across several fields of study extends from baccalaureate through doctoral degree programs, including a dual-degree program in public health. In addition to the diverse and innovative degree programs, the SOPPS has also developed an increasing number of post-doctoral training partnerships across a variety of settings, including clinical and scientific research, clinical practice, and within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The SOPPS has consistently led in federally-funded research among private schools of pharmacy in the United States. The SOPPS enjoys fruitful collaborations with surrounding medical centers and drug companies in the unique Boston environment and is poised with its new Dean to be a leader among all schools of pharmacy in the country. The SOPPS and its faculty provide a unique and innovative educational and research model, integrating rigorous classroom learning with real-world clinical and laboratory experiences and artificial intelligence-based approaches, providing opportunities to study, work, and conduct research in Boston, across the Northeastern university system and globally (with programs such as the co-op, internships, NUin, etc.). As part of the Bouvé College of Health Sciences, the wide range of programs offered by the SOPPS from baccalaureate through doctoral degrees, including Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Pharmacy (Pharm.D.), reflects the contemporary requirements for preparing professionals in the fields of pharmaceutical sciences and clinical pharmacy for an ever-increasing array of outstanding accomplishments in global practice, policy, and research.
