Position Summary

The Director of the Center for the Advancement of InterProfessional Practice (CAIPPER) is a new position, which combines an academic administrative position with a faculty position at the University of Illinois Chicago.

CAIPPER goals relate to interprofessional education, interprofessional collaborative practice, faculty development, and student engagement and leadership development.

The CAIPPER Director reports to the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Interprofessional Practice and Education within the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs in a faculty administrative role and to an academic unit within one of UIC’s seven health science colleges in a faculty role. This is a full-time position comprised of dual appointments within the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs and a UIC academic unit; the appointment structure will be determined at the time of hire. Candidates must possess academic credentials to be appointed into faculty system rank within one of the health science colleges. Current UIC faculty are encouraged to apply.
