What is the typical process for getting hired in a P&S or faculty position at the University?
All UI positions have a search committee, which selects a limited number of applicants to interview. If you are one of the candidates meeting the position criteria, someone will call you. The department will most likely do a phone screen first before setting up a time to meet for an on-site interview. There may be call-backs for a second interview. For faculty candidates, there may be requests for talks or presentations. After all candidates are interviewed, the search committee selects their preferred candidate and sends their recommended candidate to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity (EOD). EOD looks over the pool of candidates and responds to the department. A job offer is then extended to the candidate most appropriate for the job.
