Faculty Searches
Everyone involved in recruiting and hiring faculty can help SIUE attract excellent new faculty.
Hiring Faculty Toolkit
Working with IDLT, the ADVANCE Team created the Hiring Faculty Resources Toolkit. The toolkit provides resources to improve your process - from recruiting through hiring.
Recruiting
Equity Advisors
Equity advisors are tenured faculty who serve as non-voting, external members of search committees. They undergo extensive and ongoing training to support them in developing the critical self-awareness needed to engage in equity work, and to gain knowledge about best practices in effective recruitment and hiring, legal issues, and inequity in higher education. Equity advisors support search committees with implementing and carrying out inclusive recruitment and hiring strategies throughout the entirety of the search process.
Deans, Chairs, and Search Committees, email eoa-titleix@siue.edu to request an Equity Advisor or more information.
