Announcements, News and Updates

Congratulations to recent hires in Arts & Sciences and to those who have transitioned into new roles! 

A call for proposals is now open for academic units interested in recruiting one of 12 recently announced faculty cluster hires to their schools or departments.

Washington University is seeking 2,000 university employees or students to volunteer for a study to evaluate the feasibility of large-scale, rapid COVID-19 saliva testing.

A&S is looking for two new instructional designers to help faculty design courses for a variety of remote, hybrid and classroom formats as well as advise on the latest trends in pedagogical innovation.

To support the university community during these stressful times, the WashUDirect Psychiatry service offers convenient, affordable mental health care for employees and their children.

The aim is to provide resources to those seeking to get involved; to applaud civic efforts underway to help those in our university and St. Louis communities; and to provide a place to share perspectives and reflect on this unprecedented time.

Arts & Sciences faculty are invited to apply to serve as Interim Dean of the Graduate School and Vice-Provost for Graduate Education. Please submit a letter of interest and a current curriculum vitae to Lisa Siddens, no later than Monday, April 27. All letters of interest will be treated in a fully confidential manner.

Arts & Sciences staff have been essential to moving classes online in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, often embracing new roles and working across units to build training modules and support systems for faculty who are now teaching remotely.
