Guide to Diverse Faculty Searches
This Guide provides critical information to support full-time faculty searches at NYU, and is focused on strategies to attract diverse pools for faculty searches and on measures to ensure that all candidates are evaluated fully and fairly. The guide is designed for department chairs, search committee chairs and committee members, faculty diversity search liaisons, and NYU faculty members.
NYU is a dynamic global community where diversity, inclusion and academic excellence are interdependent. Excellent scholarship and teaching depend on having a diverse faculty that is equipped to meet the changes and challenges facing our world. Our teaching and pedagogy must reflect our students’ lived experiences, and prepare our increasingly diverse student body to meet those challenges.
All full-time faculty searches at NYU must comply with NYU’s Recruiting and Hiring Policy and Procedures for Full-Time Faculty and for Professional Research Staff.
