The search for a new faculty member is both routine and unique. The mechanics of the process are
the same no matter what position or department: advertise, review applications, interview, select and
recommend. However, each position has specific qualities and departments will have their own
selection criteria and candidate qualifications.
The following section identifies the major
components of the search process and offers suggestions for how departments can modify the
process to reflect their special hiring needs.
