Center directors interested in applying to this initiative should first follow the instructions at COE Faculty Research Initiative > Applications and review process.
If the proposed search is approved by the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies (ADRGS), the center director requests a copy of the COE Research Faculty Job Posting Template from their academic department Administrative Manager.
Center Director drafts a job posting based on the COE template and shares with the ADRGS and Senior Associate Dean for review.
If the ADRGS and Senior Associate Dean approve, the center director sends the posting to the academic department Administrative Manager. The Administrative Manager submits the posting in Interfolio and assigns appropriate Interfolio roles to search committee members. For instructions, see:
Dean's Office Faculty Affairs will receive a notification requesting approval of the Interfolio posting and will forward a copy of the posting to the Senior Associate Dean for approval. If approved by the Senior Associate Dean, Dean's Office Faculty Affairs will approve the posting in Interfolio.
Administrative Manager submits the job posting and assigns appropriate roles to search committee chair and members in Interfolio.
Job posting routes to COE Faculty Affairs for review and College-level approval. It then routes to APS for final approval.
Once approved by APS, Administrative Manager publishes the posting and makes it available to applicants. See COE: Interfolio > COE posting process.
Keep records of where and how the job posting is shared. The Search Committee Chair(s) must complete the Appointment Process Summary and share with the department Administrative Manager for inclusion in the PAR (hiring request) packet. Note that question #3 of the form asks for a) a list of all journals, periodicals, etc. where the posting was placed, and b) citation of any other recruiting channels used including personal contacts, letters to other departments, professional meetings, etc.

Position has been submitted for approval, reviewed, and approved by an Administrator in Interfolio

Additional recruiting requirements must be satisfied in order to sponsor an employee for employment-based Lawful Permanent Residency.
The U.S. Department of Labor requires that employers sponsoring non-U.S. citizens for permanent residency (via the EB-2 Advanced Degree Professionals category of I-140 Petitions) have posted at least one ad (print or online) in a national, professional journal for at least 30 calendar days. Departments should keep this in mind if international candidates will be considered for hire. Documentation of start and end dates of the ad, as well as the text of the ad, will be required for permanent residency applications.

All faculty have access to the COE Faculty Search Social Media toolkit. While the toolkit materials were designed to help promote COE’s open tenure/tenured track positions, search committees may wish to contact the COE Marketing and Communications (MarCom) team for help adapting them for use in research faculty searches. This toolkit provides ready-to-use social media images, suggested captions, and easy-to-follow guides to help you share these opportunities organically on Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn.
Why this matters: By using these branded visuals and content, we strengthen our collective voice and reinforce our community’s goals. Your participation is key in amplifying our faculty searches and showcasing the collaborative spirit that defines our brand.
Departments may wish to share their job postings more widely. Additional advertising options are listed below. Note that some services require a fee.
