Faculty and Executive Search Procedures
UTHSC faculty and executive administrative positions must be applied for online through Taleo, a web-based applicant management system.
UT Health Science Center endeavors to cast a wide national recruitment net for staff, faculty, and executive administrative positions through the campus website, the UT System website, higheredjobs.com, the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), and other search mediums. As a result, the university should have more robust applicant pools.
Faculty and executive administrative applicants will apply through a different entry portal than UT Health Science Center’s staff applicants to allow for an abbreviated application completion experience.
The Office of Access and Compliance (OAC) coordinates the faculty hiring process. OAC team members communicate with colleges to get jobs posted and will also handle approvals. The Associate Vice Chancellor handles approvals of Search Exemptions, Internal Searches, and Faculty and Executive Administrative Narrative Summary Forms. Search committees are also charged by OAC prior to commencing a search.

Note: The search process for staff exempt titled positions in the executive and managerial job family are executed through Taleo for Staff. This means search committees for positions titled Executive Director, Director, Associate Director, Assistant Director, Manager and Assistant Manager must be charged by the Office of Access and Compliance (OAC) in which the applicant pools are reviewed and approved by OAC in Taleo. OAC will provide an approval of individuals identified for consideration in Taleo for the primary pool and secondary pool, and there is no separate external paperwork to be completed and approved by OAC as the search progresses through Taleo.
