How do I find out about postings for Sessional Adjuncts at Queens?
The advertising and appointments process is laid out in Article 23 of the Collective Agreement. There is no obligation to advertise the positions as widely as there is for faculty under the FLA Collective Agreement (the other QUFA bargaining unit at Queen’s), but units are expected to circulate information about postings internally to all members of the unit, and to post notices on the unit’s website by specified dates, and to keep these notices on the website for at least 10 days. Notices contain information such as the date of posting, the application deadline, the required qualifications and application materials, the percentage and type of responsibility for the course or course-section, the expected enrolment, the appointment dates, and the employment equity statement. There are some very specific exceptions to the requirement to advertise based on things like exigency, reassignment of course, reappointment, and so on.
