Project Abstract
In addition to extending best practices in use at UCI, this project piloted a locally funded Provost Hiring Incentive to recruit former postdoctoral scholars associated with the system-wide University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) and the campus-level partner Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship programs (CPF). The project supported the transitions of postdoctoral scholars into faculty positions through a concierge strategy that consisted of research support, work-life integration resources, and community connections for retention and advancement through a newly established Society of Inclusive Excellence Fellows. One of the schools comprising the pilot unit served as a comparator unit during year one of the Advancing Faculty Diversity program.
