Sally Kornbluth, a cell biologist who has spent the past eight years as provost at Duke University, was named president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday.
Kornbluth has been on the Duke faculty since 1994, and is currently a professor of biology. As provost at the North Carolina school since 2014, Kornbluth was responsible for carrying out Duke’s teaching and research missions; developing its intellectual priorities; and partnering with others to improve faculty and students. She oversaw admissions, financial aid, libraries, and all other facets of academic and student life.
“The ethos of MIT, where groundbreaking research and education are woven into the DNA of the institution, is thrilling to me,” Kornbluth said in a statement released by MIT. “The primary role of academic leadership is in attracting outstanding scholars and students, and in supporting their important work.
