UW-Madison recently started a search for a new vice chancellor to oversee all research programs and graduate education on campus.
An 18-member committee comprised of professors, students and administrators is accepting nominations and applications for the vice chancellor for research and graduate education position, according to the university release.
The committee members, UW senior leaders and Chancellor Rebecca Blank will screen the final candidates for the position in March or April, according to the release.
The position was created last year after the university changed the leadership structure for research and graduate education. Marsha Mailick has been serving as the interim vice chancellor since August.
UW-Madison is known to be one of the top research universities worldwide with the use of more than $1 billion yearly in research funding.
"We believe that UW-Madison will be very attractive for extremely talented research leadership," said Animal Science Professor and search committee Chair Mark Cook.
