For employees without computer or internet access, hard copies of the application form and all relevant information on the process can be obtained from your location's central Human Resources office. Questions about the Staff Advisor position or the application process should be directed to Randy Scott, Executive Director—Strategic Planning and Workforce Development, Human Resources and Benefits, at (510) 987-9996. More information about these positions and about how to speak to one of the current Staff Advisors about what it means to serve in this role can be found at the Staff Advisors' website.

A continuing goal of the UC Regents is to foster two-way communication between UC staff and the Board. In January 2007, The Regents voted unanimously to establish positions for two Staff Advisors to participate in their deliberative process and to provide a staff perspective on matters coming before the Board. One new Staff Advisor is selected each year for a two-year term. The Staff Advisors serve as non-voting advisors to designated Regents' committees, and they attend and participate directly in committee and Board meetings throughout their term of service.
