Increasing the Representation of Women
Support for Faculty Searches
AdvanceVT has reviewed research on the role of unconscious bias in hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions and prepared a brochure summarizing relevant findings. The brochure is available in hard copy from the AdvanceVT office and online.
Links to other resources for search committees are also available.
Assistance for dual career couples is provided by the Department of Human Resources.
The Office of the Provost has compiled resources for prospective faculty.
AdvanceVT's college liaisons meet with faculty candidates in the colleges of science and engineering, and members of the AdvanceVT team are also available to meet with candidates in other colleges.
AdvanceVT Visiting Scholars
The AdvanceVT Visiting Scholars Program is designed to support faculty recruitment efforts through building or expanding connections between Virginia Tech and outstanding scholars from other institutions. Financial and administrative support is available to invite outstanding junior or mid-career scientists and engineers to campus for short visits outside the usual recruitment process. Participation in the AdvanceVT Visiting Scholars Program offers high visibility and broad exposure across campus to both visitor and host.
