We hope that the following information will answer your questions regarding permanent and limited-term employment with us. Unclassified positions require advanced degrees in specialized fields. These positions are State of Wisconsin Civil Service classified positions. This means that a Civil Service test must generally be taken and a successful score obtained before a person can be considered for a permanent job opening in one of these positions. The length of time required to obtain a permanent position at UW-Superior varies, depending on the number of vacancies which occur, the number of applicants for each opening, the scheduling of the Civil Service examinations, and the score achieved.
Most vacancies are in entry level positions.
The Current Opportunities Bulletin, which is published approximately twice a month, list all the State Civil Service examinations. Civil Service Examinations are given either on a Statewide basis or for a specific geographic area. Statewide tests are given for those classifications which are widely used in state service, some of which are used at UW-Superior. Test results are used to establish registers that will be used by all state agencies for the next 6 to 12 months to fill vacancies in the particular classification being tested. Geographic area tests are used for specific vacancies at a particular location, and the test results will be used to fill that vacancy.
