Academic Recruitment Process
OARS is dedicated to guiding departments through the academic recruitment process for all academic titles. Open searches are conducted for new appointments, which are defined as the employment of an individual whose immediately prior status was not in the employ of the University of California, San Diego, regardless of percentage of appointment or duration of appointment.
