The project director or supervisor determines the search process. We encourage you to utilize a search or screening committee rather than leaving the process and selection to one person. Vacancy announcements are also posted in the campus Inside and through Dateline. In addition, we encourage broad advertising in professional and minority publications and in metropolitan newspapers if funding permits. All advertising should be reviewed by the Director, Sponsored Funds Administration, prior to posting.
Costs associated with recruitment are usually allowable expenses to sponsored projects.
We recommend you budget reasonable funds for recruitment when submitting a proposal. Sound hiring practices do not have to be expensive. You should use your colleagues in the field, contacts at professional meetings and notices in journals to make position vacancies known to as broad an audience as possible. Interviewing Interviews may be conducted over the phone or in person. Interviews, by law, must avoid requesting information on restricted issues.
