Hiring Programs

Hiring ProgramDescription
Career PartnerThe Career Partners Program began in response to the employment needs of dual-career academic partners. UCI recognizes the importance of an environment in which frequently more than just a single faculty appointment must be considered.

FTE Funding
  • Available to Ladder Rank Faculty Appointments.
  • Funding split evenly between:
    • The recruiting unit;
    • the host unit of spouse/partner;
    • And the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor.
Interim Funding Assistance
  • Will not exceed a period of two years.
  • Funding split (not necessarily in equal amounts) between :
    • The recruiting unit;
    • the host unit of spouse/partner;
    • And the Office of Academic Affairs.
Inclusive Excellence Supplement
The supplement has been paused for the 2025-2026 academic year. 		Deans can apply for an “inclusive excellence supplement” to help recruit faculty, identified through a standard department-based search, who contribute significantly to the goal of inclusive excellence. This does not apply to individuals hired in the High Impact Hiring Program (HIHP) or the Midcareer Professor Hiring Initiative.
UCI Scholars at Risk Sponsorship ProgramA 3 Year Pilot Program to appoint international scholars at risk for one year visiting appointments whereby scholars may pursue their academic careers under conditions of academic and personal freedom.
