Faculty Search Webinars and Workshops

These annual faculty hiring workshops and webinars cover search preparation, application review, interviewing, and final selection. The workshop and webinar sequence is as follows: 

1. Preparing for Faculty Hiring (offered late spring quarter in anticipation of the next hiring cycle); 
2. Effective Practices for Assessing Applications (offered early autumn quarter); 
3. Effective Practices for Interviewing (offered mid-autumn quarter). 

Save-the-Date: The next “Preparing for Faculty Hiring” workshop and webinar will be April 29, 2026.

The workshop and webinar will contain the same content but be offered in two formats: an in-person workshop (9 – 10:30 am on April 29) and an online webinar (3 – 4:30 pm on April 29). Please feel free to attend one or the other. The events will not be recorded.

The sessions will reflect new administrative guidance on faculty hiring. Specifically, the sessions will offer (1) a brief review of the current policy, legal, and political environment for faculty hiring; (2) prompts for planning ahead for forming search committees, writing job ads, drafting assessment rubrics, devising outreach plans, and anticipating potential conflicts of interest and perceptions of bias; and (3) what to do if you need to pause a search.

• RSVP for the in-person workshop (9 – 10:30 am in HUB 332).
• RSVP for the online webinar (3 – 4:30 pm on Zoom)
