Temple University is a comprehensive public research university with seven campuses in Pennsylvania, international campuses in Rome and Tokyo, and more than 120 study abroad opportunities in countries worldwide. Founded in 1884, it is the 28th largest university in the United States and the nation´s fourth largest provider of professional education (law, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and podiatry).

This is an exciting time in the evolution of Temple University School of Medicine with a stunning new $180 million, 11-story medical education, research and healthcare facility that opened in May of 2009; active recruitment of more world-class faculty and students; efforts underway to expand scholarship and teaching funds; and further development of a research enterprise that already features centers of international acclaim. It has always been a good medical school, but now TUSM is poised to claim its place among the nation´s best.

For the past seven years, Assistant Dean for Institutional Advancement Eric J. Abel has led the advancement efforts for Temple University School of Medicine, overseeing communications, alumni affairs, events, stewardship and development.

In addition, the Senior Director of Development will play a leadership role in the oversight of the School of Medicine´s upcoming comprehensive campaign, assist in planning and implementing efforts to double the School´s annual fundraising total. The new SDOD will manage two Major Gift Officers.

"This is a critical position for the Medical School and one that is tremendously rewarding," says Eric. "We make a very visible difference and the gifts we bring in truly impact people´s lives."

The successful candidate will possess the following skills and abilities:

*   Proven ability to raise and close gifts from individuals of at least $100,000.

*   Demonstrated success with developing and sustaining relationships with key donors, volunteer leadership, and senior staff.

*   Ability to translate and communicate complicated medical research to a lay audience.

*   Demonstrated oral and written communication skills.

*   Entrepreneurial skills in identifying donors and relationships.

*   Demonstrated creativity and strategic thinking with the ability to take initiative.

*   Ability to travel and work a flexible work schedule, including nights and weekends.
