RE: Recruitment of a Faculty Assistant to the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor

I am pleased to announce the availability of one 0.25 to 0.50 FTE Faculty Assistant 
position in the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor, beginning as 
soon as October 1, 2004.  The appointee will work directly with the Provost and 
Executive Vice Chancellor on implementation of the UC Davis Strategic Plan with a 
particular focus on recruiting faculty input and ensuring effective communication 
with faculty.  The term of the position will be academic year 2004-05, with the 
possibility of renewal for one or more years by mutual agreement.

The appointee may be assigned duties in the following areas:

*  Liaison:  develop and maintain contacts with committees of the Academic Senate 
and Academic Federation, the Council of Deans, and department chairs that will allow 
clear and frequent communication with the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor about 
ideas and opportunities for faculty participation in implementation of the UC Davis 
Strategic Plan.

*  Planning:  assist the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor in the development 
of a communication and action plan that will result in specific, faculty-led efforts 
to pursue the strategies outlined in the UC Davis strategic plan in the areas of 
learning, discovery, and engagement.

Candidates must be tenured members of the UC Davis ladder faculty.  This position will 
involve significant writing projects and oral presentations to a variety of audiences.  
The successful candidate will be asked to work collaboratively with campus 
administrators, academic deans, faculty, and staff.  In some cases, projects will 
require a rapid response to time-sensitive opportunities or externally imposed 
deadlines.

This position carries an administrative stipend.  Academic-year faculty may receive 
additional summer compensation.  Funds will be made available to the appointee's 
department to cover a portion of the appointee's teaching duties and/or support for 
the appointee’s research program.

Applications should include a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, and any 
additional supporting information the candidate chooses to provide.  Nominations or 
applications may be submitted to Bob Loessberg-Zahl in the Offices of the Chancellor 
and Provost by September 15, 2004.  

Questions may be directed to me at vshinshaw@ucdavis.edu.

Best regards,

Virginia S. Hinshaw
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
