Faculty Recruitment from Underrepresented Groups

Schools may request funding support to assist in the recruitment of candidates identified through standard searches from groups whose availability exceeds their representation on the faculty. The level of support provided will be predicated on the assumption that, since there was a Standard Search and Evaluation process, this was a planned recruitment for which the Departmental/School had funds already budgeted. Schools may request modest supplemental funds from CUIMC (depending on the unit that will support the recruitment) to make a more competitive offer.

In recognition of the time urgency usually associated with standard search recruitments, requests for support will be accepted and considered on a rolling basis. Hiring units should expect a turn-around time of approximately three weeks.
