Posting Jobs

The University of Washington uses Interfolio’s Faculty Search to manage all competitive academic personnel searches. Units must ensure that every stage of recruitment aligns with University policy, equal opportunity requirements, and approved hiring practices.

All new faculty job postings must use the standardized job posting guidelines created by UW Human Resources (UWHR) and the Office of Academic Personnel & Faculty (APF). The language included in these guidelines regarding application instructions must be used without modification.

What You Need to Do

• • 1. Confirm whether your position requires a competitive search
       A competitive search in this context is any search which you advertise and intend to solicit applications. Some academic personnel titles require competitive recruitment; others do not. Review the Academic Titles and Ranks page and the Human Resources and Employment Practices Checklist.
    2. Prepare the job advertisement using the required template
       Select the correct standardized template for the position type and rank. Complete only the unit‑specific fields and retain all vetted language.
    3. Create or manage your search in Interfolio’s Faculty Search
       All competitive searches for faculty, librarians, and academic staff must run through Faculty Search.
