UC Riverside Is Recruiting for CIO/Associate Vice Chancellor

The University of California at Riverside is recruiting for an associate vice chancellor and chief information officer (AVC/CIO).

The university is seeking candidates who balance technological acumen and a sense of business operations, according to the job posting.

“The next AVC/CIO will steward multiyear strategic planning initiatives, including evaluation of innovative and emerging technologies; serve as a campus adviser and strategic partner by fostering technical partnerships with UCR deans, faculty, staff, vice chancellors and librarians in support of distributed computing initiatives; and provide leadership responsibility for a highly technical organization, including key matrixed relationships with campus units,” the posting says.

Candidates “should have experience deploying and maintaining software applications across a complex organizational structure, have managed an internal development team at some point, and know how to deliver basic IT support services to an organization of 3,000+ constituents,” the posting says. “Higher education should be a passion or area of intellectual curiosity, but not required work experience. What is required is knowledge and desire to implement modern approaches to everything IT related (software selection, development methodologies, technical infrastructure, IT management and IT service delivery) and to be able to work in a large and complex environment.”

The salary is contingent on experience. The recruitment will remain active until the position is filled; candidates’ materials should be received by Feb. 15, and the recruitment will be conducted in confidence until finalists are invited for campus visits.
