UW ADVANCE and the OFFICE FOR FACULTY ADVANCEMENT partnered to offer a Spring Webinar on troubleshooting faculty searches.

This event was intended for anyone who is leading a unit that is hiring, chairing a search committee, or serving on a search committee.

The webinar focuses on two common challenges: assessing DEI statements and evaluating known candidates.  How units navigate these challenges during the faculty search process can have either positive or negative impacts on their culture.  This webinar explores questions like: What preparatory work should units and search committees do to address potential challenges? How should DEI statements be assessed? What is the potential role of the DEI statement in the assessment process? How should conflicts of interest be defined and managed? What are effective strategies for evaluating known candidates?  By planning for the possibility of encountering challenges like these, units can more successfully navigate the assessment and decision-making process and positively affect their culture.

Featuring:

• Chadwick Allen, Office for Faculty Advancement
• Joyce Yen, UW ADVANCE Center for Institutional Change

The Office for Faculty Advancement and UW ADVANCE have teamed up again to offer a Spring Webinar on planning ahead for next year’s faculty searches, with a focus on thinking strategically about search committees, designing effective assessment rubrics, and writing strong job ads.

The Office for Faculty Advancement and UW ADVANCE have teamed up to offer a Webinar on practical strategies for running successful faculty searches either mostly or entirely online. We will explore questions like: Which aspects of faculty hiring can be easily adapted to virtual environments, and which aspects may need to be retooled or rethought? How can units run effective committee meetings and deliberations? How can you plan for potentially hosting campus visits through Zoom or similar platforms? How can you and the faculty candidate best get what you want and need from the virtual faculty hiring experience?
