2022 UCCE advisor positions released for recruitment

I am thrilled to announce another monumental milestone to grow UC ANR's Cooperative Extension footprint – 48 more CE Advisor positions will be recruited over the next 12 months! Thanks to the increased 2021-22 state funding, the 2021 Call for CE Positions has concluded. Additional CE Specialist positions will be announced in early April 2022.

We want to recognize and commend the active engagement and collaboration across the UC ANR network to develop the position proposals, and in particular the groups that worked together to submit joint proposals. We also want to thank the Program Teams for their additional review and input on the CE Specialist proposals. The stakeholder engagement described in the proposals and Program Team prioritization were critical to informing the release of positions. More about this process is available on the 2021 Call for Positions web page.

The following CE Advisor positions will be staged for recruitment to avoid overwhelming our Human Resources colleagues. Coverage areas are indicated in parentheses for each position. In some cases, coverage areas were modified from the proposed locations. In other cases, modifications are needed to the position description. Vice Provost Bell is aware of the changes needed and these modifications will be addressed at time of recruitment. Positions listed with a number correspond to the proposed position. Positions listed without a number will require development of a position proposal, working with Vice Provost Bell, the local County Directors, and appropriate Statewide/Institute Directors. The positions below are organized in numerical order. Staged releases will be determined by Academic HR and Vice Provost Bell.
