Faculty Partners Program (FPP)
In order to recruit a tenured or tenure-track faculty member, the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty works with the prospective faculty member and their partner in support of the partner’s job search.
Working with the Faculty Partners Program
Faculty candidates are encouraged to arrange a meeting with the Faculty Partners Program (FPP) to review the type of support that may be offered to their partners. FPP staff can arrange a confidential, informational meeting to answer questions from the faculty candidate. Contact with the FPP is confidential and information is not shared with the department running the search or with MIT’s administrative leaders, until or unless the partner provides permission to do so.
Services offered
Upon meeting with FPP, faculty candidates and their partners will receive access to FPP’s portal, which includes important job search resources and information. Partners may also have the opportunity to benefit from services such as customized search strategies, coaching, CV/résumé review, assistance with written communications, and mock interviews.
Participation in the FPP does not guarantee employment, nor influence the outcomes of hiring committees. Questions pertaining to work authorization for international faculty partners should be directed to the relevant offices at each hiring institution or organization.
Contact and more information
