Faculty and Unclassified Searches

Miami University has established specific search procedures for recruiting and appointing:

  2. Unclassified administrative staff (UAS) 

Searches must comply with all of the respective search procedures found in the Policy Library and in the Interview Guidelines and Considerations.

Hiring Policies

Request Search Committee Approval & Faculty Search Training

The Office of Transformational and Inclusive Excellence (OTIE) must approve the composition of proposed faculty search committees. Please complete the request form below to request approval from OTIE.

Search Committee Approval Request Form

Upon receipt of approval of your search committee, search committee members must complete annual training by OTIE and the Office of Equity and Equal Opportunity (OEEO). Search committee members only need to complete this training once per fiscal year (July-June).

Faculty search committee training is now available online through Canvas and is accessible 24/7. This self-paced, online training focuses on compliance, bias, and policies, in relation to the search process.  All newly approved search committee members will be auto-enrolled in this Canvas course. There is a Formstack form at the end of the training that must be submitted in order to document training completion.

If you have a group of people in your department who are not a part of an active search committee, but would like to complete the faculty search training, please send a list of employee email addresses to OEEOATS@MiamiOH.edu. and we would be happy to enroll any Miami employee in the training.

Questions pertaining to search committee training can be directed to the Office of Equity and Equal Opportunity at OEEOATS@MiamiOH.edu or 513-529-7157.


Please feel free to contact the OEEO, Human Resources or Academic Personnel Services with any questions or concerns regarding the hiring and/or recruitment of faculty and unclassified administrative staff.
