Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics at Syracuse University seeks a highly accomplished faculty leader, tenurable at the full professor rank, to envision, start, and manage a new high-impact research institute focused on innovation in sport. The College will soon be transitioned to the Falk College of Sport, reflecting Syracuse University’s strategic emphasis on sport as a primary focus of interdisciplinary scholarship, academic programs, and student experiences across campus. Outstanding faculty candidates will assist with the development and oversight of an institute that will drive research excellence and innovation in sport and health outcomes, and integrate expertise in sport business, digital media, and technology, among other areas of academic focus.
