Conducting Faculty Searches

The Office of Faculty Affairs has a series of hiring deadlines for fall, spring, and summer applicants. Use the OneUSG Connect Careers user guides to find out how to request job openings and find the perfect fit for your department!

For questions about the faculty search process please email Faculty Searches.

Advertising and Hiring Deadlines

To ensure all faculty advertising and hiring guidelines are met, we strongly recommend positions be posted and hiring paperwork submitted by the following dates:

  • Fall Hires: advertise by March 1; all hiring paperwork submitted by June 1
  • Spring Hires: advertise by August 1; all hiring paperwork submitted by November 1
  • Summer Hires: advertise by December 1; all hiring paperwork submitted by March 1

All full-time faculty postings must be advertised nationally for 30 days. This advertisement is created and uploaded in OneUSG Careers by Academic Affairs. Departments must use this national advertisement when posting the ad in other external venues.

 

Search Guidelines & Faculty Teaching Credentials

The Faculty Search Guidelines is a document detailing information on creating job descriptions, conducting searches, and hiring faculty at Kennesaw State University.

Please review the information on SACSCOC guidelines for faculty credentials when beginning the search process.

Requesting Job Openings - Posting Templates

All faculty posting templates must now be submitted using a single Posting Template Form.

Before a posting request will be approved by our office, all hiring managers, deans, and committee members must watch the required Search Committee Training.

NOTE: The system uses detection indicators to determine if the video was actively viewed by the participant. Therefore, faculty that have been flagged as not participating by the system will not show up in our report as having completed the training.
