Thanks to the generosity of Stanford’s supporters, a growing number of provostial billets are becoming available for distribution across the Stanford campus for the purpose of hiring faculty in areas that will help achieve the goals of the International Initiative. In most cases, these billets are expected to be joint appointments between two or more academic units. Billets are open to all departments, and will be awarded on a competitive basis. If your department or school is interested in securing one of these billets, proposals should be submitted to the appropriate search committee after consultation with your dean. Please contact Catharine Kristian for details.

Areas of focus for faculty recruitment under the International Initiative have been determined by its Executive Committee following consultations with department, school, and university leadership. The following search plan has been authorized:
