In August 2006, the Faculty Recruitment Committee developed a rationale and plan for the recruitment of 15 new faculty colleagues to replace an estimated 10 faculty retirements over the next 10 years (by 2016). The plan includes additional faculty needed to meet the goals of maintaining and advancing Berkeley Optometry's preeminence in training/teaching and research and to approach the faculty-to-student ratio required by a twenty-first century obligation to train optometrists and future generations of optometry faculty.

Faculty recruitment for open positions will be announced on this page.
