Faculty Search Ad Placement

When the College of Fine Arts approves a faculty search, the Search Committee Chair needs to compose copy for the employment posting and the search ads.

Step 1: Write the ad.

When composing the ad, please be sure to include:

Position title (tenure or non-tenure, Assistant or Associate Professor, focus, etc.)
Essential functions
Necessary experience
Required outline skill set
Mission of our institution
Proper contact information
Department website

Please compose two versions of the ad, one with the full wording, and a truncated 200 word version.

Step 2: Send full ad to Tim Creswick for posting on the UT Faculty Recruitment Web.

Tim will send you posting information and include a link on the Theatre and Dance website.

Step 3: Send full and truncated ads to Jessica Blair for online and print publications.

Talk to Jessica about the search budget and desired publications. The following is a basic guide to past publications, their requirements, and ad durations. No search is required to place ads in any of these publications, nor limited to these choices. Once all ads are placed, Jessica will send a follow up to the Search Committee Chair with ad information, links, and dates of placement. It is the Search Committee Chair's responsibility to collect applications, answer questions, and follow up with candidates.
