Who We Are

For 20+ years, the ADVANCE Program has pioneered research and programming aimed at improving faculty recruitment, climate, retention, and leadership development. Beginning in 2002 with an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant from the National Science Foundation and transitioning to Provost's Office funding in 2007, the nationally recognized program serves all U-M faculty on campus in four distinct areas: 

Our 15+ person team supports these four areas through research and evaluation, programming, and administration efforts. The ADVANCE Program is committed to the University of Michigan's core values of integrity, respect, inclusion, equity, diversity and innovation.  Visit our website to learn more about our work and the team.

The ADVANCE Research & Evaluation (R&E) team is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary group that takes a team-based approach to applied research, continued learning, and fostering innovation. R&E serves the University of Michigan through various research projects and provides evaluation support. The team produces reports and recommendations which inform practice and policy within ADVANCE, high-level university leadership, and the wider U-M community. You will be responsible for leading this team. Deliverables are expected to safeguard confidentiality, be of high quality, and completed on time. This position will report directly to the ADVANCE Director. The ADVANCE Program embraces a hybrid work model with a standard 3 days on campus and 2 remote days for full-time staff appointments. Employees are welcome to work additional days in the office.
