I am not sure what you are asking. In any instituion people have balanced job complexes, and then balanced across them.
In a university -- there aren't some folks who only sit in an office with a pencil and think -- or play solitaire, etc. Rather, there are a host of tasks and these are amalgamated into job complexes..Some people do some physics, and some other stuff.
There would no doubt be, I would imagine, a personel committee, say, or whatever -- depending on size and so on.

Ummmm...we have a little problem.
I can't honestly even try to fully present parecon, I suspect, via emails...even if I didn't have a lot of other responsibilities.
I don't know, when someone asks me, how familiar they are...and if I assume a lot, it can be confusing. But if I assume not at all, then trying to enter specific questions would entail providing the whole model.
The above suggests, honestly, near zero familiarity -- and so I don't know how to answer short of a very summary statement, or writing a book...
A bit of a cunundrum.
I think for those not familiar with the model -- the issue is really does one like the idea of the highlighted values as described...and would one like it if instiutitons could fulfill them while getting the economic job done. Maybe then also questions or concerns about the basic aims.
For someone more familiar, questions that are more into details, can be answered, but only because I can assume some context.
At any rate, that is how I am going to try to relate, I think...
