Maynooth International Engineering College (MIEC) is a joint college established by Maynooth University (MU) and Fuzhou University (FZU) in Fujian Province, China.
We are seeking an established academic to join our experienced transnational education team as Executive Vice-Dean to manage the MIEC jointly with their FZU counterpart.
The MIEC is an integral part of Maynooth University's internationalisation strategy, and our goal is to build on the experience gained through extensive engagement in China to enhance the quality and diversity of the MU educational experience both locally and internationally, with a strong emphasis on delivering an exceptional student experience through a student-centred approach.
The MIEC currently offers four MU undergraduate programmes in computer science and electronic engineering.
Successful candidates will be required to spend time in Maynooth University and also in Fuzhou University (FZU) in Fuzhou, China for a number of months each year.
The person appointed will be expected to provide leadership in continuing the success of the initiative by ensuring the quality of the academic programmes being offered, managing and strengthening the administrative relationship with FZU, and developing research links between MU, FZU, and the broader Fujian region.
