Southern Illinois University Carbondale seeks an experienced financial professional to serve as the next Associate Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance (AVCAF). Reporting to Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance Susan Simmers, the AVCAF is an important team member in providing University-wide leadership with strategic and actionable financial information.

This is an attractive opportunity for an experienced professional to advance to higher level of responsibilities, working in a dynamic University environment as a key leader in the financial services area. The Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance is eager to partner with the new AVCAF as a full member of that team—ensuring that financial information is accurate and reliable and working with others to protect the assets of the University through oversight of appropriate internal controls. A skilled and collaborative professional will have the opportunity to lead both as a team member and as a supervisor of administrators within the division.

This position serves as an integral part of the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance team to strategically and collaboratively enhance the University's financial and cultural strength through fiscal analysis, monitoring, planning, and reporting. The Associate Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance (AVCAF) supports the University's direction through the development of strategy, problem solving, leadership, and effective management. The AVCAF provides leadership to the Financial Services unit of the University, which includes the Budget Office, the Bursar's Office and, after April 2026, Accounting Services. The Budget Office does not have a director, so the Associate Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance fulfills this role in the University.

The expected annual salary range for this position is $160,000 - $175,000. Southern Illinois University Carbondale also provides a comprehensive benefits package, including health coverage, retirement plans, and tuition waivers, along with many other advantages detailed on the Human Resources Benefits website. While the start date is negotiable, the Associate Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance is expected to begin as early as possible in Summer or Fall 2025.
