About NSCAD University

NSCAD University is a leading institution in visual arts education in Canada, with a rich history dating back to 1887. Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the university is situated on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq Nation. NSCAD is committed to reconciliation and building respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples and African Nova Scotian communities.

Our Mission

We are a small institution deeply committed to arts, design, culture, and community engagement. Our undergraduate and graduate students thrive in our excellent facilities, with curriculum that develops creativity and critical thinking. We celebrate the creative contributions of all our members and foster a supportive academic community that encourages active inquiry and exploration.

Our Strategic Plan

Our 2024-2030 Seriously Creative Strategic Plan is founded on three institutional pledges: student-centred art and design education, an equitable and inclusive NSCAD, and a destination campus for creatives. We have set four long-term objectives to achieve by 2030:

  • Transform into a new, unified campus at the Halifax Seaport.
  • Flourish to 2,000 students.
  • House 15 percent of all NSCAD students in university residences.
  • Generate 25 percent of NSCAD's revenue from diversified sources other than tuition and the university's provincial operating grant.
About the Role

We seek a Provost who will champion our plans for growth and transformation. The Provost will work closely with our President to support excellence in teaching, artistic creation, research, student experience, and service to the broader community. They will foster a collegial atmosphere that promotes transparency, integrity, and the highest standard of ethical behaviour.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will provide significant academic leadership and create a vision and academic plan within a shared governance structure. They will have financial acumen, experience in team building, enrollment growth, and project management, particularly in leading large building projects. They will have excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to inspire and build positive relationships with students, faculty, staff, administrative leaders, and the Board of Governors.

What We Offer

We offer a dynamic and inclusive work environment, a competitive salary and benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth and development. We are committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) and are seeking a candidate who shares our values and is committed to advancing indigenization and reconciliation.

We encourage applications from Mi'kmaw/Indigenous peoples, African Nova Scotians, women, persons with disabilities, members of underrepresented groups or the global majority, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian and permanent residents will be given priority.
