A - 3.9 Search Plan

For all academic positions the head of school should prepare a search plan at the time of drafting the advertisement. Implementing a search process is a way of broadening the field of well qualified applicants and identifying potential applicants from diverse groups of people. A search goes beyond the normal advertising process but it does not: imply that anyone encouraged to apply through the search plan will be treated other than on merit mean that candidates who have no realistic chance of appointment should be encouraged to apply The search plan should be submitted along with the advertisement and the selection criteria to the Dean for approval. Particular attention should be given in the search plan to the possibility of identifying qualified female applicants (see guidelines for search procedures at Attachment A – 7).
