Faculty Resources

New Faculty

New faculty members often face challenges in their first months – and these can occur in the areas of teaching, research, and the balancing of home and work life. The University of Iowa has many resources and networks available to help new faculty meet these challenges and thrive in their new position.

The University of Iowa’s Build a Career | Build a Life  is a great resource designed to assist you to successfully build a career and build a life. At the University of Iowa, we recognize the important relationship between productive careers and quality personal lives.

Collegiate Faculty Policies

The College of Public Health Faculty Handbook contains important information regarding faculty procedures, including General Responsibilities/Polices/Resources; Tenure Track information; Teaching Responsibilities; and other helpful documents.

The Manual of Procedure of the College of Public Health is designed to foster an active, informed faculty and a suitably counseled administration and to promote communication between the faculty and the administration as they jointly seek to achieve the aims of the College. Execution of the procedures in this manual should yield a record of policies, goals, and experiences of the College to guide it in its continuous striving for excellence. Structure and operating procedures are described; responsibilities are defined and distributed; and mechanisms to implement change are specified.
