Jeff Segall presented data on the 2018 demographics of Einstein faculty using data provided by David Graves. There was overall agreement that there is a need for hiring additional junior faculty. The deficit in junior faculty reflects an interruption in hiring during the transition to Montefiore, but with Montefiore’s support, hiring of researchers has resumed, especially in the clinical departments.  In addition, Neuroscience and Biochemistry have been recruiting, and it is anticipated that there will be additional hiring associated with the arrival of the new Dean and recruitment of a new Cancer Center Director.

It was noted that these issues have previously been discussed in the Science Council and Chairs meetings. A more efficient method for providing information transfer between Science Council, Chairs meetings, and Senate Council meetings could be helpful.

The meeting adjourned at 3:53 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Jeffrey E. Segall, Ph.D.
Speaker, Einstein Senate
