Dean Search 2023 | NYU Tandon School of Engineering

Dean Search 2023

As a first step in identifying a successor to Jelena Kovačević as Dean of the Tandon School of Engineering, a faculty-led Search Committee has been formed.


Tandon Campus

Guido Gerig, Institute Professor, Computer Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, has agreed to chair the Committee. We are grateful to him and the other members of the Committee for agreeing to undertake this time-consuming and important work. We are confident they will identify and recommend outstanding candidates.

The Committee held its first meeting July 5, and representatives on the Committee will be reaching out to the wider Tandon community to seek input. Many of you have wide-ranging networks and might therefore suggest qualified candidates for the Tandon deanship. The Committee would welcome your input, as well as any questions you may have regarding the search process. Nominations, questions and other recommendations can be forwarded to Professor Guido Gerig and the Search Committee at tandondeansearch@nyu.edu. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important process.

As the Committee begins its work, let us once again thank Dean Kovačević for her many contributions and outstanding service to the School and the University.
