Faculty positions are generally posted in fall for appointments in the following academic year. The process for faculty and administrative appointments can be very lengthy and applicants are encouraged to anticipate a few months lead time before approvals can be reached. Staff positions are generally posted when vacancies arise. Administrative and staff positions are posted for 10 and 5 working days respectively.

When applying, do I need to send both an application form and a résumé?
Generally, our only requirements for staff positions would be the submission of a completed application form, ecclesiastical endorsement form, and a cover letter. Résumés and letters of recommendation are helpful since all new hires are interviewed by search committees. Faculty positions require that a current vitae and college transcripts accompany the application and ecclesiastical endorsement forms.

I've already turned in an Ecclesiastical Endorsement; do I have to get another one?
If it has been over a year, you will need to get a new one.
When can I expect to be called for an interview?
Each search committee will create a timeline based on the closing date, urgency for the position to be filled, availability of search committee members, and applicant pool qualifications. Not all applicants will receive interviews. However, letters to those who will not receive interviews are generally sent within 48 hours after the applications have been returned to our office.
How do I know if a position has been filled?
Once interviews are completed for regular positions we ask for a minimum of three finalists from the search committee. Each finalist is ranked based on qualifications, department fit and interview results. Search Committee findings are then reviewed by a member of the President's Council and in most cases by the entire Council. Second interviews may also be required before final decision making takes place. Once approvals have been granted, the job offer will usually be made by the Search Committee Chair. All other finalists will be informed by a phone call from the Chair or a letter will be sent from Human Resource Services.
Do you still have my application on file?
Staff applications are kept on file for one year; administrative staff applications are kept on file for two years.
What is the difference between a temporary hire and a regular hire?
Temporary and on-call positions are short term appointments that generally do not exceed a 6 month period or 900 hours in a rolling year. Temporary and on-call positions may be selected from our available applicant pool. Regular full time employees are those who are approved for a regular and continuous schedule for periods of time that exceeds 6 months or 900 hours in a rolling year. Regular positions are primarily selected by ad hoc search committees.
