Dear UAA Community,

I’m pleased to share that the job posting for UAA’s next chancellor is now live, and we are officially accepting applications.

We are conducting a nationwide search for experienced leaders with a strong record of organizational success and executive-level management. While experience in post-secondary education is valued, we also welcome candidates from nontraditional backgrounds — including business, industry, nonprofit, government and other sectors — who bring demonstrated leadership, a broad network that immediately brings value to UAA, a commitment to community engagement, and the ability to build meaningful partnerships that advance UAA’s mission and impact across Alaska. 

A full position profile and description are available online at careers.alaska.edu. Candidates should submit a CV, cover letter, letter of interest and contact information of three (3) professional references through the Careers site. The Search Committee will begin reviewing applications on a rolling basis on June 6, 2025. 

You can stay up-to-date on the search process at alaska.edu/pres/uaa-chancellor. When finalists are selected and campus visits scheduled, that information, along with candidate bios and background information, will be posted there.

Thank you for your continued support, engagement and investment in UAA and our University System.

Sincerely,
 
Pat Pitney 
President
University of Alaska
