Academic Faculty Promotions

The Faculty Development team within the Office of Academic Affairs oversees procedures regarding the appointments and promotions process. The faculty development team coordinates with faculty to review materials needed for dossiers that are submitted for consideration of their appointments/promotions.

First and foremost, candidates must ensure that they meet the criteria for a promotion based on the proposed rank and track. For individuals who would like to discuss possible promotion, please e-mail the following to the Faculty Development Team at facultydevelopment@chla.usc.edu:
