This is an extraordinary opportunity for a transformational leader to build on the College's record of excellence in preparing pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists to capitalize on opportunities arising from the evolution of pharmacy.
The University and its health system partner - Jefferson Health, have continued on a path of rapid and transformative growth that requires a Dean who can navigate market opportunities and engage with key stakeholders to expand and develop university, health system, industry, and government partnerships that will contribute to the College's success.

Ranked among the top 50 pharmacy programs nationally, Jefferson College of Pharmacy has been advancing pharmacy education, clinical practice, and discovery since 2008. The College consistently excels at preparing the next generation of pharmacists - since 2017, the first-time NAPLEX pass rate average for graduating students has been over 95%, placing JCP in the top 10% of ACPE-accredited programs nationally.
The Dean will be responsible for the operational and financial performance of the College, overseeing JCP's academic programs, research, personnel, budgets, strategic planning, alumni engagement, fundraising, and industry engagement.
