1. The department administrator should fill out the Request to Initiate Faculty Search for Full-Time Faculty Form and submit it to somFacultySearch@case.edu. This form includes pertinent information such as the title and rank of the requested position, description of responsibilities, salary and funding information, the search committee chair(s), justification for the position, and how the hire will contribute to the department's commitment to diversity. There can only be ONE hire per SOM faculty search number.

2. The Faculty Affairs Office will review the form and reach out if there is any missing information. If the form is filled out correctly, our office will route it through the necessary approval steps (i.e. Faculty Affairs, Finance, Research). It will then be submitted to the Executive Compensation Committee for approval.
3. Once all approvals are received, the Faculty Affairs Office will reach out to the department notifying them of approval and the next steps. At this point, the department can begin its search process. Once a candidate is identified, an offer letter should be drafted and submitted for approval. Offer letter templates and instructions can be found here.

If the faculty appointment will be funded entirely by the hospital (i.e. UH, VA, MHMC, CCLCM) and not on ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ payroll, the proposed position does not require a ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½-approved search.
