Tenure-Track Hires

All tenure-track hires require Provost’s Office and/or Board of Trustees approval before their appointment can be confirmed. To ensure that faculty receive approval prior to their scheduled start date, new-hire dossiers must be submitted by the relevant College deadline. Please note that the submission deadline for initial hires conferring tenure is earlier than the deadline for tenure-track hires on probationary appointments. For tenured hires, departments should also allow additional lead time to solicit external letters of evaluation.

Included on this page are resources to assist you in the appointment process for tenure-track hires. Questions regarding position authorization, job postings, and candidate selection should be directed to your divisional HR representative.
