Search Committee

Searches are hosted by Academic Jobs Online.

Search Committee members are appointed by the department head, and all tenured or tenure-track faculty are eligible. Searches for non-tenure-track faculty are conducted by the Department Head and the Personnel Committee. The department has created a Job Candidate Data Sheet to help the search committee in determining the most qualified candidates; these should be created by the committee for the short-list vote and job offer vote.

The committee chair will be responsible for compiling and submitting any search records and scoring matrix to the department manager by the time a hire suggestion is made; these materials become part of the search record. The department manager will supply the committee chair with a disposition spreadsheet, which should be submitted at that time.
