Faculty Recruitment

Main content start

Stanford's academic excellence is inseparable from the value a diverse faculty brings to the quality of the curriculum, the breadth and depth of research, the nature of collegial interactions, and the scope of service to the institution's civic mission. The tools and resources found in this section are intended to assist faculty recruitment efforts to enable broad and inclusive applicant pools and equitable decision-making processes. In addition to these resources, please consult school-level policies and requirements available at the dean's offices and the University-wide policies described in the Faculty Handbook.
