Recruiting Faculty
Recruiting faculty is a multi-step process that begins by defining the academic need of the department/school - what type of faculty appointment is needed? Tenure track, clinical track, researcher, lecturer? Once the classification is determined, the search and screen process begins. After recruitment and interviews, the offer of appointment will be drafted for review, and once approved, may be extended.
The Office of Academic Affairs administers the Support for Recruiting Underrepresented Faculty (SRUF) program. SRUF is designed to encourage and assist schools and departments at IUPUI in the hiring of new tenure/tenure-track faculty from less represented populations, by providing salary support to academic units as long as the faculty remain at IUPUI. Workshops and discussions to facilitate the retention of faculty recruited under the SRUF program are offered throughout the year for the faculty and their mentors.
