UCR is embarking on a major new hiring initiative (http://clusterhiring.ucr.edu) that will add 300 tenured and tenure-track faculty in 33 cross-disciplinary areas and invest in research infrastructure to support their work. This initiative will build critical mass in vital and emerging fields of scholarship, foster truly cross-disciplinary work and further diversify the faculty at one of America’s most diverse research universities. UCR is a world-class research university with an exceptionally diverse undergraduate student body. Its mission is explicitly linked to providing routes to educational success for underrepresented and first-generation college students. A commitment to this mission is a preferred qualification. Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/ADA/Veterans Employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of excellence and diversity among its faculty and staff.
