Welcome to the University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division Office of Faculty Affairs website. The OFA at its foundation is here to support faculty at all stages of career development across the Biological Sciences Division. This website includes information about programs and resources. The OFA website links to other important resources and opportunities across campus.
Whether you are new to the University, or have been here for many years, it is our goal to ensure you are aware of all of the opportunities and to support the important work you do each day: teachings, mentoring, delivering clinical care, and developing outstanding research programs. We are also here to listen and respond to faculty ideas and concerns, complementing the work of the Faculty Advisory Committee, Chairs and Section Chiefs. We welcome your feedback and ideas as we continue to develop the office and this website.
