NatSci Faculty and Academic Staff Search Procedures
These procedures apply to all faculty and academic staff searches. Under normal circumstances, search committees will work with a hiring guide throughout the process. Exceptions to these procedures are allowed for postdocs, research specialists, and other positions funded by start-up or grant funds, summer only hires, one-semester appointments, emergency hires for appointments <1 year, and visiting faculty. The search committee chair should contact the hiring guide appropriate for the position.
