Hiring Process for Full-Time Faculty
Timetable for Hiring Full-Time Faculty for Fall 2010 Appointments
The hiring timetable identifies the key activities and dates of the hiring process and outlines who is responsible for each step. Recommendations for changes should be submitted to Employment and Outreach Services, who will communicate requests to the Vice Presidents. The schedule is available HERE.
Posting Faculty Vacancies
The Office of Employment and Outreach Services will post new full-time faculty positions on the ACC website and Channel 19 television station after receiving approval from the appropriate Vice President. Faculty positions which are vacant due to a separation of employment are posted upon the approval of both the Dean and Vice President.
Faculty Job Postings can be found online at www.austincc.edu/jobs. Click on available positions and select, "Faculty Positions".
Advertising Faculty Positions
The College Recruiter and the HR Employment Manager are responsible for coordinating recruiting and advertising activities for all full-time faculty positions. ACC advertises all faculty vacancies in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Community College Week, Diverse Issues in Higher Education, Inside Higher Education and Latinos in Higher Education, HigherEdjobs.com, and The Hispanic Outlook for Higher Education.
