These guidelines summarize the procedures used at Pomona College for
filling a tenure-track position or the
equivalent.
(For filling a temporary position, please see
Recruiting for Temporary Positions.)
They focus on the points in the recruiting process where the
recruiting department interacts with the Dean of the College (Dean
Gary Kates) and with the College’s Diversity Officer
(Associate Dean Kenneth Wolf). Pomona is small enough to accommodate
differences in departmental recruiting styles, especially when these
reflect disciplinary needs, yet, in aspects described here, all
searches must follow established procedures. These procedures are
meant to create some uniformity within the College, allow the Dean
to oversee the recruiting process and help the Diversity Officer monitor the progress of searches as mandated by the
College’s diversity plan.
This document is complemented by Managing Search Budgets,
which summarizes important points regarding the recruiting budget.
The preferred method of correspondence with the Dean’s Office is
e-mail. Please submit the Faculty Search Reports (described below) as
Word attachments to Dean Wolf.
It's important for those involved in a faculty search to
know the reporting requirements before the process begins.
Forms are available as Microsoft Word documents or PDFs.
