Faculty Search Committees and the Search Process

Faculty Recruitment (Advertising) Resources
Personal contacts through professional organizations, training facilities, and colleagues at other institutions are usually the most effective networking resources.  Personal contact with professional organizations requesting that the job announcement be shared with members, especially with any women or minority caucuses is encouraged.  Making personal contacts with the caucuses is most likely to result in applicants for positions.

The following directories are designed to aid in the recruitment of minority and female faculty:

  • The CIS Directory of Women in Science and Engineering contains information on highly educated women in science, engineering, and mathematics fields (view)
  • The Minority and Women Doctoral Directory contains information on candidates who have recently received, or are soon to receive, a doctoral or master's degree in their respective field and is located in the Office of Affirmative Action.  Copies from the directory will be provided upon request (request)
