Faculty and Academic Staff Search Procedures

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.
