Goals

The entire academic hiring process is intended to accomplish UCR’s Key Goals:
Every part of the process must be conducted with these goals in mind. The quest for excellence must start with the identification of the best possible candidates, it must proceed with a careful selection process, and it must end with the successful hiring of the very best faculty member.

Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action

It is an explicit goal of UCR to achieve a diverse community of faculty, staff, and students. This objective must be applied in vigorous and comprehensive recruitment efforts that are designed to attract a diverse pool of candidates.
The University of California undertakes affirmative action to assure equal employment opportunity for underutilized minorities and women, for persons with disabilities, and for covered veterans. Affirmative action does not require hiring “preferences” for minorities and women, nor are preferences appropriate under law. UC’s policy has been, and continues to be, to select the individual who possesses the qualifications to perform the duties of the position most effectively.
UCR’s “Affirmative Action Recruitment Guidelines for Academic Positions” must be followed.
A statement must be included in all advertisements that UC Riverside is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
