A multilevel mentoring program for early career tenure-track faculty
NYU’s Office of the Provost and its Center for Faculty Advancement (CFA) are launching the Early Career Faculty Institute (ECFI) to mentor tenure-eligible faculty in their first three years of appointment. The program comprises ten modules spanning a two-year period, beginning in fall 2021. From research and funding support to teaching philosophy, ECFI modules will cover core areas that foster the productivity, success, and retention of NYU faculty.
MISSION
To promote the advancement and success of early career faculty
TIMELINE
Ten modules over two years
There will be ten modules over two years for faculty, and two additional modules for mentors and school leadership. The ECFI also includes monthly mentor meetings, didactic presentations, interactive in-person and online meetings with exercises for self-reflection, and small-group teamwork.
ADVANTAGES
A unique mentoring program modeled on evidence-based best practices
Informed by foremost mentoring programs from top U.S. universities, the ECFI will:
Create networking opportunities with university leadership, schools, and faculty
Expand faculty skills and explore pathways toward tenure and beyond

APPROACH
Support from multiple levels of university personnel
We foster a culture of mentoring and support that is shared by senior university administrators, the heads of all schools and departments, and NYU faculty.
