Faculty Recruitment

Decisions regarding faculty hires are among the most important a university makes. As an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action (veterans and individuals with disabilities) employer, Emory University seeks to identify, recruit, and retain a world-class and distinctive faculty in all academic disciplines.

The faculty recruitment process at Emory is a collaborative effort between the Department of Equity and Civil Rights Compliance team and hiring officials at the school level. Each has a responsibility to ensure adherence to the university's Equal Opportunity and Discriminatory Harassment Policy.

DECRC has the responsibility of monitoring and coordinating the recruitment process to ensure compliance with search procedures, university policies, and legal and regulatory requirements.

The hiring official has the responsibility of assisting deans, department chairs, and search committees in identifying and recruiting outstanding faculty. He or she also must keep abreast of EEO commitments and aspirational goals and benchmarks relating to veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Our team members provide training, advise search committees on recruitment strategies and respond to questions that may arise during the recruitment process.
