Your goal is to circulate the job ad as widely as possible. To this end, using a variety of avenues of communication is vital. In addition to posting on professional job boards and in scholarly publications, consider posting on a wide range of listservs, websites and social media accounts of relevant professional groups or organizations. Please maintain a detailed and complete record of where ads have been posted.
Search is a verb! Activate your professional networks.
Members of the search committee, along with other faculty members of the unit, should personally contact colleagues at UW and other institutions to seek nominations of qualified potential applicants.
Ask all members of the unit (e.g., department faculty) to inquire about promising graduate students, post-docs, or early career faculty from a wide range of backgrounds. Send announcements and request nominations from departments at institutions that serve a broad range of populations and to sections of regional, national, or international organizations that are engaged in work to advance inclusive excellence in care, teaching, and research.
Ask current faculty, graduate students, post-docs, and alumni to help market open positions by taking copies of job ads to academic conferences and meetings they attend, as well as to the other institutions they visit to give lectures or seminars.
Have unit leadership personally contact qualified potential applicants. These communications can include the offer to have the search committee chair speak with potential applicants on the phone or over Zoom.
