Faculty Search Guide
This site is under development - The Faculty Search Guide provides step-by-step instructions, tools, and parameters during the hiring process.
Faculty personnel are essential to realizing the university’s mission and the importance of a successful and well-run search cannot be overstated. Faculty searches entail a significant time and financial resource commitment. All stakeholders participating in searches are responsible for understanding and adhering to this guide. This guide applies to all faculty search types, including full-time positions, regardless of tenure status, postdocs and adjuncts.
William & Mary is committed to diversity and equal opportunity and to ensuring compliance with affirmative action. To fulfill these obligations and to align with university strategic goals the search procedures do the following:
- Provide for transparency and consistency to render the hiring process inclusive and fair;
- Guard against conscious and unconscious discrimination or bias against any individual or group based on race, sex, or other legally protected class. Please see also the Prohibiting Discrimination, Discriminatory Harassment, Retaliation & Sexual Misconduct policy.
- Seek to enhance the diversity in our workforce.
Please review William & Mary's Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy Statement.
Inclusive Excellence
At William & Mary, Inclusive Excellence is a framework designed to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. As a model, it incorporates diversity efforts into the core of organizational functioning. Applying Inclusive Excellence concepts leads to infusing diversity into an organization's recruiting and hiring processes, into its training, and into its administrative structures and practices. Inclusive Excellence means an organization has adopted means for the cohesive, coherent and collaborative integration of diversity, inclusion and equity into the organizational pursuit of excellence.
Training Expectations - Pending Confirmation
Any individual participating in faculty search evaluation is required to attend Implicit Bias training. Individuals who trained more than two years ago are required to re-train. Every full-time faculty member is encouraged to attend training at their earliest opportunity, and to re-train promptly. Faculty who fail to complete training requirements may be excluded from search participation.
