This is a call for applications for a Faculty in Residence appointment in the Office of Residential Experience in Student Affairs. The Faculty in Residence (FIR) program is currently soliciting applications for the following two positions:

Candidates who are currently employed as tenure or tenure-track members of the professorial faculty are invited to apply. Before applying, candidates are encouraged to review the FIR website for further details on expectations for the position.

Application Information

  • Eligibility
    FIRs must be employed as tenure or tenure-track members of the professorial faculty, and maintain good standing with Caltech throughout their term as FIR.

  • Selection Criteria
    Applications are evaluated according to a single criterion: Which applicants will be able to best advance the FIR program’s mission (i.e., to facilitate student-faculty interaction outside the classroom and laboratory, and to provide informal mentorship relationships to help students advance their education in science and engineering).

  • Selection Committee
    Applications are reviewed by the FIR selection Committee, which consists of the Head FIR, the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Residential Experience, and an Associate Undergraduate Dean.
    The FIR Selection Committee makes recommendations to the Vice President for Student Affairs, who makes final decisions.

  • Other
    The FIR program releases calls for applications for each specific open position. Calls-for-applications are advertised widely to all eligible faculty through the Provost Office.
    The program does not have a waiting list for future positions.

The FIR application will remain open until May 15, 2022.
