Chancellor Jennifer L. Mnookin has appointed a 17-member search and screen committee to help identify a vice chancellor for research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Steve Ackerman, who served as vice chancellor for research and graduate education since 2019, retired in September.
William L. Murphy, professor of biomedical engineering and orthopedics and rehabilitation, will chair the search committee.
Currently known as the vice chancellor for research and graduate education, the vice chancellor for research will continue to oversee and coordinate UW–Madison’s research enterprise, working closely with the chancellor, the provost, other vice chancellors, deans, faculty, staff, and shared governance. The position will also play a pivotal role in building a future-oriented research infrastructure that leverages UW–Madison’s history of innovation in service to the Wisconsin Idea.
