Faculty Recruitment

“The recruitment of outstanding faculty is one of the most important goals of Lewis & Clark College. …Our choices at every stage of each search (e.g., how we define positions, whom we interview at national meetings, whom we bring to campus, and of course whom we appoint) are crucial” (p. 147 of the Lewis & Clark College Faculty Handbook 2004).

An effective process for defining and requesting replacement or new faculty positions requires that departments and programs strive to achieve the following goals:

  • To build a cohesive community of teachers and scholars in the tradition of the liberal arts
  • To build strong academic programs
  • To build programs which take advantage of interdisciplinary opportunities
  • To meet curricular needs
  • To build a diverse academic community
