We promote faculty success in every career stage by offering professional and leadership development programming, supporting policies related to faculty employment, and hosting social and networking events across campus. We are dedicated to recruiting the world’s outstanding teaching and research faculty, providing them with comprehensive support, and surrounding them with collaborative and energetic colleagues who are leaders in their fields. 

Our commitment

We are committed to recruiting and supporting diverse faculty members across all disciplines. We seek to create a faculty of individuals from different backgrounds with a wide range of perspectives and experiences and strongly encourage applications from individuals from groups that are underrepresented in higher education. 

Our community

We place a high emphasis on emotional wellness and work-life balance for our faculty, enabling them to focus on their work by providing professional development opportunities, social events, health and wellness services, and other resources to help navigate the many layers of academic life.
