| Faculty Applications |
| |
UMT faculty are selected according to merit, with careful
consideration being given to avoid bias in hiring. UMT complies fully with the
spirit and letter of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) law. Open positions
for full-time faculty will be advertised in the appropriate places (e.g., Chronicle
of Higher Education, national periodicals, such as The New York Times or The
Washington Post, and the UMT website).
|
Criteria for hiring full-time faculty
include:
-
Appropriate academic qualifications: To teach at the graduate level, faculty
members must possess a terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., DBA, etc.) in an appropriate
content area; to teach at the undergraduate level, the faculty member must
possess at least a master’s degree in an appropriate content area. Outstanding
professional experience may be considered as a substitute for advanced degrees
in exceptional circumstances.
-
Demonstrated teaching ability, evidenced by previous teaching experience.
-
Demonstrated expertise in the teaching areas for which they are being
hired.
-
Demonstrated research capabilities, evidenced by a history of conference
presentations, published proceedings and published articles.
-
Desire to serve the University and its students, as demonstrated in a
willingness to participate in academic advising and university committee service.
|
|
The ultimate hiring decision will be made by the Academic
Dean. Typically, appointments will be made by means of renewable contracts.
|
|
Open positions for adjunct faculty will be advertised
in the appropriate places. In addition, potential faculty with a good reputation
in their field will be contacted directly.
|
|
The same general selection criteria apply to adjunct faculty
as full-time faculty. Appointments are made on an as-needed, course-by-course
basis.
|
|
Unsolicited resumes and CVs will be kept on file for six
months. However, it is the responsibility of the interested applicant to monitor
the UMT website and other places for openings.
