Organizational Unit Overview
The Office of Institutional Planning, Assessment, and Research
(IPAR) is directed by the Associate Provost for IPAR, who reports
to the Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
IPAR facilitates university-wide academic planning, strategic
planning, space planning, assessment, and evaluation activities and
supports institutional decision-making. IPAR collects, analyzes,
warehouses, and disseminates data about East Carolina University,
serving as the University's primary contact with The University of
North Carolina System Office, the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools Commission on College (SACSCOC), and other external
constituencies in meeting the data, reporting, and compliance
requirements established by these various agencies/bodies.
Job Duties
The Director of Institutional Research (DIR) is responsible for
developing a comprehensive Institutional Research (IR) program to
support the University's mission and strategic initiatives. The
position reports to the Associate Provost for IPAR and has
management responsibility for all IR functions including
supervising IR staff.
Decision Support (35%): The DIR provides leadership for the
collection, management, interpretation, and use of institutional
data for decision-making in support of the University's mission and
strategic goals. Crucial decisions and planning strategies depend
on the data provided by IPAR, but such data are not always readily
available. The DIR works with stakeholders to develop systematic
methods to collect and integrate data from multiple sources and
translate data into usable information. The DIR ensures the
accuracy and integrity of findings released in IPAR studies,
advises on the appropriate uses of such studies, and specifically
provides information and data interpretation to institutional
leadership and committees to facilitate sound planning and actions.
The DIR is frequently called upon to develop, or assist in
developing, reports and presentations that effectively communicate
key research findings (such as key performance indicators) to a
variety of audiences.
Data Analysis & Provision (20%): The DIR oversees the provision,
analyses, and reporting of institutional data to meet the needs of
various internal and external stakeholders. The Director shall
follow the guidelines provided by the UNC System Office and
external agencies to ensure data accuracy. The DIR upholds data
integrity by implementing standard business processes and
maintaining thorough documentation of data provision guidelines and
methodologies. The DIR frequently provides consultations to
stakeholders to establish appropriate data request parameters and
define actionable research questions.
Collaboration & Project Management (20%): The DIR works
collaboratively with the Associate Provost as well as other
directors and staff within IPAR on projects related to planning,
assessment, and accreditation. The Director also maintains good
working relationships with faculty, staff, and units across campus
as well as at the UNC System Office to enhance data quality and
integrity. The DIR will represent and promote IPAR by serving on
university committees (such as those related to data governance)
and ad-hoc working groups to facilitate appropriate and effective
use of data. The DIR often serves as a subject expert or project
manager for interdepartmental projects that require institutional
data.
Staff Supervision (15%): The DIR supervises and mentors IR staff
and delegates tasks with attention to staff workload and areas of
expertise. The DIR meets frequently with staff members, both in
one-on-one and team meetings, to discuss projects and share
information. The DIR encourages and supports professional
development among staff and performs annual performance
evaluations. The DIR fosters a positive work environment for staff
through positivity and flexibility, and demonstrates a democratic
leadership style, involving team members in decision-making and
valuing their input.
Data Governance (5%): The DIR is a member of ECU's Data Governance
Steering Committee and an ex-facto member of the university's Data
Stewards Committee. As such, the DIR assists in developing,
implementing, and improving institutional policies and practices
that are related to formal management of data assets at ECU. These
policies and practices address key issues such as data ownership,
standardization, validity, reliability, access, and security. The
DIR is heavily involved in the promotion of data literacy and data
quality across campus. The DIR may also serve on working groups
reporting to one or both data governance committees on topics such
as data confidentiality or analytics maturity.
Other Duties as Assigned (5%): The DIR will be called upon to
contribute to specific projects delegated by the Associate
Provost.
This position is contingent upon available funding.
