A faculty of outstanding scholars/teachers who are diverse in their gender, culture, race/ethnicity, background, work and life experiences, and interests, best fulfills Stanford’s missions of teaching, learning and scholarship. Stanford University’s commitment to enhancing the diversity of its faculty recognizes that research and teaching are enriched by a variety of perspectives, and that students must be prepared to achieve success in a world that is increasingly global and diverse.
Recruitment
Recruitment and Retention Programs
Several special programs have been established at Stanford to enhance the University's ability to recruit and retain a diverse faculty. These include:
Distinguished Scholars Lectures
The Distinguished Scholar Lecture Program gives participating schools and departments an opportunity to bring to Stanford distinguished colleagues who add diversity to the faculty that students are exposed to for a short visit.
Search Committee Resources
This online Faculty Search Toolkit site is provided by the Provost's Office and is intended to supplement search materials and guidance provided by schools and departments. It serves as a confidential resource for faculty search committee members and departmental search administrators working on active searches in the current academic year.
