Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the AY2019 Institutional Hiring Plan, which details all approved tenure-track faculty searches for the 2019-20 academic year. As of today, this year’s plan authorizes 38 tenure-track faculty searches (25 new searches and 13 searches that will continue from this year, if needed).

I want to thank everyone who contributed their time and effort to creating proposals and providing feedback. I appreciate the thought that went into crafting each proposal. Institutional Hiring Plan decisions were made in consultation with the Provost’s Deans Hiring Advisory Committee and the seven-member Provost’s Faculty Hiring Advisory Committee. I personally gave due consideration to each proposal before making the final authorizations to search. The full Institutional Hiring Plan and additional details on the process are available at https://provost.uoregon.edu/ay2019-20-institutional-hiring-plan.

We are pleased with how the IHP process went this year, and welcome your feedback on how to further refine the process for future years.  Please share your input via this survey: https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7UTrL52gTbnxnQ9. 

Thank you again for your work to make the Institutional Hiring Plan a success that will help us achieve our collective goals in teaching, research, diversity and interdisciplinary excellence.

Sincerely,

Jayanth Banavar
Provost and Senior Vice President
