Search process

The search procedure to fill full-time faculty and administrative positions is thorough and designed to support the Diversity and Inclusion Plan. A three-stage process is used. In Stage I candidates are reviewed by Human Resources and in Stage II qualified candidates are reviewed by members of the search committee, through which a screening takes place to determine who will move on to Stage III based on the advertised qualifications of the position. As each stage is completed, applicants who do not meet the necessary qualifications will be notified. Stage III is the interview stage, where the candidates are invited to campus to meet with the committee. (As a general policy, SUNY Niagara does not reimburse candidates for travel expenses.) It should be noted that the position vacancy announcement will identify what materials are required of each candidate.

It is important to ensure that materials are submitted in accordance with the vacancy announcement. Once the interviews are completed, the committee recommends whenever possible to the president of the College the names of a minimum of two, a maximum of three, persons who they feel are acceptable for the position.

The intent of these procedures is to select the right individual in accordance with the needs of the College and within appropriate policy and guidelines. Search committee members, the administration, and the president take seriously their role in the process. As SUNY Niagara wishes to make the process as comfortable as possible, applicants are welcome to email the Director of Human Resources, Equity & Inclusion, Title IX Coordinator about these procedures or about the status of their application at any time.
