The Dean's Office in the College of Science and Mathematics invites
nominations and applications for the position of Associate Dean of Faculty
and Research Programs. Georgia Southern University is a member institution
of the University System of Georgia and a Carnegie Doctoral/Research
University devoted to academic distinction in teaching, scholarship, and
service. At Georgia Southern we provide a culture of engagement that
bridges theory with practice, extends the learning environment beyond the
classroom, and promotes student growth and life success.



Founded in 1906, the University now serves more than 20,500 students and
offers more than 100 campus-based and online degree programs at the
baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Our 900 acre park-like campus
in Statesboro, Georgia is not far from historic Savannah and Hilton Head
Island and provides the benefits of a major university with the feeling of
a much smaller college in a classic Main Street community.



Within this setting, the College of Science and Mathematics prepares
students in baccalaureate majors and the Master of Science.  Approximately
150 faculty serve 2000 undergraduate and graduate students in the
departments of Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Geography, Mathematical
Sciences, Military Science and Physics.  The College also supports the
University’s general education program through extensive offerings in the
Core Curriculum.  More information about the College can be found at
