Hiring announcements

Several new positions in the operating model were also hired over the summer across all of the six administrative workstreams. We're pleased to note that of the 24 positions hired below, 23 were filled with key, existing talent within the organization.

Useful resources

As the university continues transitioning to the new operating model, it's understandable that you're thinking about where you will fit within the new structures. Across the organization, new structures are rolling out and bringing new opportunities for professional growth. Here are some useful resources and articles that were released this summer to help assist you with career decisions.

Be sure to regularly review future opportunities posted on the Position Opportunities Page; please remember that POP only provides the upcoming opportunities created as a result of restructuring. The Careers website is the place to watch for all opportunities you can apply for.

Going forward

Stay up to date with the latest UAT developments by reading The Quad each Thursday. You can also access UAT updates at any time by visiting the UAT homepage and checking out the "recent posts." In the coming weeks, we'll be starting a new series of articles that looks ahead at each of the university's functional areas and highlights some of the key, future milestones. Stay tuned!
