Cluster Hire for Tenure-Track Faculty

Cal Poly strongly values a well-rounded level of experience with inclusive practices in the classroom, in scholarship, and in service. We have shown a commitment to cluster hiring focused on expanding our curricular offerings with several cohorts starting in 2017. All positions are designed to increase curricular coverage of areas related to the CSU initiatives surrounding universal student success, as well as to promote inclusive and equity-minded teaching strategies across the university. Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the university’s goals in these areas. Candidates selected through this curricular cluster hire will be given start-up funds to support their work and a dedicated mentor will be given upon appointment. Once hired, candidates will collaborate with their dean and others to develop a plan for utilizing these funds for supplemental compensation, assigned time, or professional development activities.  More information about our past cluster hire cohorts is below. Please reach out to Dr. Jennifer Teramoto Pedrotti (Assoc Vice President for Academic Initiatives) and/or Dr. Simone Aloisio (Assoc Vice Provost for Academic Personnel) with any questions.
