Dear Colleague:

The CUNY Puerto Rican Faculty Recruitment Project has been established
to help attract Puerto Rican/Latina(o) faculty to the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Its two primary activities include:

  • Conducting outreach and recruitment activities to attract outstanding candidates for faculty positions in all disciplines at CUNY; and
  • Working with CUNY colleges to connect highly qualified candidates with positions open within the CUNY system.

Attached please find some recently advertised positions at CUNY.
Interested persons should consult the job listings on the CUNY Web site at www.cuny.edu for further information and a complete listing of CUNY. Potential candidates should apply directly to positions as announced by CUNY, not to the Project.

However, the Project would appreciate knowing about any persons applying to or interested in CUNY to track our outreach and recruitment progress. For this purpose, CVs may be sent to the Project by e-mail to jmorin@hunter.cuny.edu.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Prof. José Luis Morín
Interim Director
