Faculty Appointments

The University of Oregon (UO) sustains a faculty congruent with its standing as a major public research university and as a member of the AAU. The UO expects a commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and service from all of its faculty members and it must embrace the duty of creating faculty appointments that readily permit pursuit of academic excellence. As is the case nationally, the UO makes faculty appointments in two main groups: tenure-related faculty and non-tenure track faculty.  There are also two types of unpaid faculty appointments, Courtesy and Emeritus.  Detailed information on these appointments and their related policies and procedures can be found on the links to the left.    

The Underrepresented Minority Recruitment Program (UMRP) encourages departments to hire underrepresented minority faculty in tenure-related faculty appointments by providing supplemental funds to the department through its school or college following the successful tenure-related appointment of a new colleague from an underrepresented group.  For more information and the UMRP application form visit the link above.
