Overview

UCSF is an equal opportunity employer. Open recruitment ensures that a diverse pool of qualified internal and external applicants are considered for vacant faculty and non-faculty academic positions. If you are unsure which positions fall within the faculty and non-faculty academic titles contact your academic HR generalist.

The Office of the Vice Provost, Academic Affairs (VPAA) facilitates the recruitment, development, mentoring, and retention of the highest-caliber diverse faculty.

Visit the UCSF Office of Faculty and Academic Affairs website to access information on the Academic Recruitment Process. Contact your academic recruitment specialist for information pertaining to recruitment/search policy and process, timeline, search waivers and how to use the AP Recruit system.

Once the final candidate is approved, collaborate with the HR Shared Services academic generalist on the terms of the offer, consulting with the school as needed, and drafting of the offer letter. Issue the approved offer letter to the final candidate and once the offer is accepted, submit a PCMA case to UCSF HR Shared Services and attach the signed offer letter.

Tips

Contact your academic generalist for information pertaining to:
- Series, rank, and step
- Terms of employment
- Drafting the offer letter
- Timeline for appointment begin date
- Submitting your ticket when the final candidate has been approved
- Email the candidate's CV to the academic generalist for reference in their analysis
Do not issue offer letters until the search process report (SPR) has been approved by the VPAA and the draft offer letter has been approved by your Shared Services academic generalist.
For offer letters that are signed far in advance of the appointment begin date, submit the signed offer letter to your Shared Services academic generalist when it is received, and open the New Hire case in PCMA one to two months before the appointment begin date.
Clinical appointees may not begin clinical care until they have been approved through the credentialing process.
Additional review/approval may be required if the candidate is internal, currently covered by a bargaining unit, and applying for a non-faculty academic or faculty position.
