2012 Call for Supplemental Positions

As previously announced in ANR's Update (January 24, 2012), ANR is soliciting proposals for CE advisor and specialist positions. This supplemental call aims to address programmatic gaps that were not previously identified or that have arisen since last year's process.

The online submittal system will be open from February 1 – May 18 to allow as much time as possible for internal consultation and external input from ANR stakeholders in all program areas. We also expect and strongly encourage you to engage with external stakeholders, including commodity groups, cooperating programs, agency partners, community groups and others to explicitly discuss priority needs for positions.

This 2012 CE Supplemental Call for Positions (http://ucanr.edu/callforpositions) is available to ANR and to the public. Below are displayed all of the positions that were submitted last year and not released/selected for recruitment. To view the list of positions that have already been released, please locate the document at the bottom of this text. The webpage also displays new proposals as people initiate their work. This online database has been created as a searchable tool to encourage collaboration, rather than submitting duplicates of the same proposals. Submissions will be accepted from the following groups:

If you do not hold one of the above titles/roles, we encourage you to communicate with persons that are able to submit positions and work collaboratively with them in these efforts.

During this cycle, the position submission system will be open for both new submissions and for revision and resubmission of earlier proposals that were not selected for recruitment. The online system will give you access to previously submitted positions in the format you submitted them.

Please note that we are only able to provide you with the proposal you submitted last fall, if you uploaded a pdf document, then you will have access to the same type of file during this cycle. If you are planning on editing and re-submitting proposals that were submitted as pdfs, we encourage you to locate your last word version, make the changes and upload it in word. Or, you can download the new template from the system, fill out all required sections and re-submit.

As mentioned, Program Council members have requested additional information for previously submitted position proposals, which must address the justification section found in this year's template. Both revised and new proposals are required to complete the justification section to identify critical issues that the position will address and explain how a proposed ANR position will address those issues.

To begin, please search through the positions that are currently in the queue and contact the submitter if you are interested in collaborating. If you are eligible to submit a new proposal, click "Login Now" and then you can click on "Create New Proposal." You will be re-directed to the Universal Review System (URS) found in your ANR Portal.

If you choose to locate the 2012 submission system directly, you must log into your ANR Portal. Under URS, you will have access to your previous submissions located under "Your Proposals." If you wish to create a new proposal click on "2012 Call for Supplemental Positions" found under "Open Systems."

If you have any questions, you may contact Vanessa Gomez at (510) 987-0377 or vanessa.gomez@ucop.edu.

If you submitted a position last year and will not be re-submitting it during this cycle, you may contact Vanessa to have the positions removed.
