The University of Texas at Austin (UT) invites applications for the Program Director of UTNY, UT’s semester- and summer-long “study-away” program in midtown Manhattan. This senior administrative role—a fulltime, in-person position—may also have an opportunity to teach based on experience. The position will report to the Executive Director of UTNY.

The director should have demonstrated leadership and management experience, experience living and/or working in New York City, and understanding of teaching and program development in higher education.

Students in the UTNY academic programs participate in credit-earning internships and/or take classes in the UTNY facility classrooms.
