To inform the development of a job description for Vice-Chairs for academic affairs (VCAA), members of the Alliance of Leaders in Academic Affairs in Radiology (ALAAR) were surveyed to better understand their current job responsibilities and how they would ideally allocate their professional time.
Based on a survey of 33 university-affiliated radiology departments and discussion among ALAAR members, the authors developed a detailed job description for the VCAA. The 21-question survey was composed and validated by experts in the field. It was distributed to all members of ALAAR via email with an electronic link and was open for 5 months. Results of the survey were tabulated, and a job description was crafted to represent the foundational roles of academic affairs leaders in radiology.
The response rate for institutions represented in ALAAR was 73% (33/45). All participants reported that they practiced in a university-affiliated institution. Faculty size varied from ≤49 (30.3%, 10/33), 50-99 faculty (24.2%, 8/33), and ≥100 faculty members (45.5%, 15/33). Only 24% of survey respondents had a detailed job description at the time of hire. More than 40% attested to significant oversight over faculty development programs (45%), mentorship programs (42%, and promotions (45%). Respondents ideally want increased oversight (defined as >10%) over exit interviews, faculty awards, promotions, onboarding, recruitment and hiring, and wellness programming.
The aspirational mission of the VCAA is to oversee components of sequential stages in the professional lifecycle of faculty members but a common job description for this role is lacking.
为了为学术事务副主席（VCAA）制定职位描述提供信息，对联盟的领导人进行了调查，以更好地了解他们目前的工作职责以及他们理想的专业时间分配方式。
根据对 33 个附属放射科的调查以及联盟成员的讨论，作者为 VCAA 制定了详细的职位描述。该 21 个问题的调查由该领域的专家组成并进行了验证。它通过电子邮件分发给所有联盟成员，并带有电子链接，为期 5 个月。对调查结果进行了制表，并制定了职位描述，以代表放射科学术事务领导者的基本角色。
在联盟中代表的机构的回应率为 73%（33/45）。所有参与者均报告说他们在大学附属机构工作。教师规模从≤49（30.3%，10/33），50-99 名教师（24.2%，8/33）和≥100 名教师（45.5%，15/33）不等。只有 24%的调查受访者在入职时就有详细的职位描述。超过 40%的人证明对教师发展计划（45%）、指导计划（42%）和晋升（45%）进行了重大监督。受访者希望对离职面谈、教师奖励、晋升、入职、招聘和雇佣以及健康计划进行更多监督（定义为>10%）。
VCAA 的理想使命是监督教师职业生涯各个阶段的组成部分，但该职位缺乏共同的职位描述。
