Recruitment & Hiring
Process for Hiring Tenure-line and Term Faculty
The materials below provide process information and resources for faculty search committees, chairs, and Deans for recruiting and hiring tenure-track faculty for mission and inclusive excellence at Loyola Marymount University. The bedrock assumption of the search process is that departments will hire outstanding candidates who will demonstrate a consistent pattern of excellence in scholarship and/or creative activities, teaching/advising, and service over the course of their career at the university.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion developed this booklet to provide a summary of the hiring process for all full-time faculty. Recruiting and Hiring for Mission and Inclusive Excellence (Tenure-Track Faculty). LMU utilizes PeopleAdmin for all searches. Please reference the Recruiting and Hiring Exceptional Teacher-Scholars for Mission Flowchart for information about the process.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has developed Recruitment & Hiring Resources, including: Guidelines for Recruiting & Hiring Exceptional Teacher-Scholars for Mission, Guidelines for Recruiting & Hiring Endowed Chairs and President's Professors, and Request to waive a search for faculty. Please visit their website for more information.
