instated
Given the position
Instated is the past tense of instate, meaning to place someone in a position or office.
The word appears most often as part of reinstated, which is far more common: She was reinstated after the investigation cleared her.
On its own, instated sounds slightly awkward—installed or appointed usually serves better.
