Temporary Full-Time Positions |
| |
Replacement needs for the following academic year must be discussed
with Dean Gary Kates during the first semester. Please note that
sabbaticals are normally not replaced, while “Leaves without Pay”
are usually at least partially replaced. Once the Dean has approved
the position in writing, the department should draft the job
description and e-mail it to Assistant Dean Kristin Fossum for
her and the Diversity Officer to approve. Faculty Search Reports need not be filled
out, but these approvals must be obtained before the department
publicizes the description. We do not conduct national searches for
short-term appointments. Please send flyers with your approved job
description to local universities (UCLA, UCI, UCR, USC, etc.), from
which candidates could drive to Pomona College for a one-day
interview. Please speak with all candidates by telephone at some
length about their teaching experience and teaching philosophy
before inviting them to campus for an interview. The candidates
for temporary full-time positions must be interviewed by
Assistant Dean Fossum, who will need a curriculum vitae at least one
day before the interview. Neither the Dean nor the President needs
to interview these candidates. A limited amount of funding for
on-campus expenses (typically lunch) may be provided. Please contact
Assistant Dean Fossum for advance approval if you plan to ask for
college funds.
The department chair recommends the appointment to Assistant Dean
Fossum and, if the appointment is approved, the chair is informed as to the salary. The
chair then makes the offer to the candidate, making it clear that it
is contingent upon proper documentation being presented to the Human
Resources Office.* If the candidate accepts the offer, the Dean and
Assistant Dean are to be notified in writing so that a contract can
be drawn up. The Assistant Dean will forward the candidate’s curriculum vitae to
the Dean’s Assistant so that she can prepare the contract and gather
the contact information. The department is responsible for
ensuring that there is adequate office space for the visiting
faculty member. For questions about office space, please consult
Associate Dean Cynthia Selassie.

People Hired to Teach Three or Four Courses |
| |
As with every hire, these appointments must be
approved in advance by Dean Kates. Faculty Search Reports need not
be filled out. Once the Dean approves the position, these persons
need not be interviewed by the Assistant Dean, Dean, or President,
but should be interviewed by the department chair, in person, not
just via telephone. For candidates with a Ph.D. who are newly
employed by the college, we pay $7,000 per course, except by special
arrangement with the Dean. Anyone who teaches three or four courses
is also eligible for benefits. The chair orally conveys the offer of
employment to the candidate, saying that it is contingent upon
proper documentation being presented to the Human Resources Office.*
If the candidate accepts the offer, the Dean and Assistant Dean are
to be notified in writing so that a contract can be drawn up. The
Assistant Dean will forward the candidate’s curriculum vitae to the Dean’s
Assistant so that she can prepare the contract and gather the
contact information.

People Hired to Teach One or Two Courses |
| |
As with every hire, these appointments must be approved in advance
by Dean Kates. Most of these positions are filled during the
academic year in response to enrollment pressures. Part-time
appointments may also be made to cover course releases. These
persons need not be interviewed by the Assistant Dean, Dean, or
President. They are paid at the same rate per course as the people
teaching three or four courses. However, the College does not
provide benefits because they are less than half-time employees. The
hiring is handled as it is for the persons hired to teach three or
four courses (see above). * It is important to determine in
advance of an offer if the candidate will be able to provide the
necessary documentation regarding employability. During the search,
the search committee is allowed by law to ask candidates if they
will be able to prove eligibility to work upon commencement of
employment should an offer of employment be made. If the candidate
for a temporary position is not a U.S. citizen or permanent
resident, the college will not assist him or her in obtaining the
proper papers. Such candidates need to arrive with papers in hand.
