Job Description:
UATX's Principles: Universities devoted to the fearless pursuit
of truth are the cornerstone of a free and flourishing democratic
society. For universities to serve their purpose, they must be
fully committed to freedom of inquiry, freedom of conscience, and
civil discourse. In order to maintain these principles, UATX will
be fiercely independent - financially, intellectually, and
politically. In addition to these foundational principles, UATX is
committed to creating a new, sustainable financial model for higher
education and an innovative curriculum that will synthesize the
best of the liberal arts tradition with an education that prepares
graduates to tackle the challenges facing the world today. For more

UATX's Centers of Inquiry: As part of our reenvisioning of the
academic model of higher education, UATX will be organized around
five Centers of Inquiry: (1) The Center for Politics, Economics and
Applied History; (2) The Center for Mathematics, Engineering and
Technology; (3) The Center for Arts and Letters; (4) The Center for
Theoretical and Experimental Science; and (5) The Center for
Education and Public Service. These Centers differ from traditional
academic departments in that while forming academic units, they
will also serve as interdisciplinary research institutes, think
tanks, and entrepreneurial incubators. The Centers will host
undergraduates as junior fellows in their third and fourth years of
study, be home to graduate programs, and will be staffed by
transdisciplinary faculty drawn from both inside and outside the
academy. The Directors of our Centers of Inquiry will form an
integral part of our senior leadership team.
