All faculty jobs require entering position information into ConnectCarolina. See the Working with Positions page of the CCinfo website for more information about position management. Use the templates below to include more information here:

 

 

Helpful Tips

Some things to remember as you enter position information:

  • Enter any information that may change — like application deadlines or review dates — into the Special Instructions section rather than the Position Summary so that making changes is easier.
  • Because Faculty Intermittent position ePAR defaults to 1.0 FTE, please sure to review the ePAR for accuracy before submitting.
  • Hires with no pay should be at 0.01 FTE; this way, the FTE should change appropriately when pay is added.
  • The recruitment system box must be checked in the Position ePAR for it to feed into PeopleAdmin.
  • An organizational chart is not required for faculty positions.

 

Permanent

Submit the new or update position request in ConnectCarolina using the Position ePAR. Complete all required fields.

Complete all required fields.

The following fields will be read-only in PeopleAdmin, and any changes will need to be done as an edit to the position in ConnectCarolina:

  • Position #
  • Job code / Rank
  • FTE
  • Position Location
  • CSA
  • Position Summary
  • Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
  • Minimum Education and Experience Requirement
  • Preferred Qualifications and Experience
  • Special Physical / Mental Requirements (optional field)
Create one position and use the position number to create the recruitment and for the initial hire.

Create additional positions copying from the original position for all subsequent hires.

Use New as the action reason on the Position ePAR.

Note the Vacancy ID in the ePAR comments.

 

Temporary

Submit the new or update position request in ConnectCarolina using the Position ePAR. Complete all required fields; most fields will be editable in PeopleAdmin.

Select Faculty Intermittent for:

  • Positions that will have a fluctuating FTE
  • Intent to pay or an unpaid secondary position where the primary is a full-time permanent employee
Select Temporary for:

  • Positions with regular job duties for the term of the temporary appointment
  • If the temporary appointment is 0.75 FTE or higher
For recruitments with multiple hires:

  • Create one position
  • Use the position number to create the recruitment and for the initial hire
  • Create additional positions copying from the original position for all subsequent hires

 

Open Rank/Variable Track

For recruitments that will be Open Rank / Variable Track, select the Open Rank job code when creating the position.

This job code:

  • Will also be used if you are recruiting for specific ranks
  • Can be more than one — for instance, “Assistant or Associate Professor”

Once the recruitment is completed and the Hiring Proposal is approved:

  • You will need to edit the position and change it from Open Rank to the rank hired
  • Use the Position Update (UPD) Action Reason on the Position ePAR

Provide a detailed description of the ranks and/or tracks being recruited in the Position Summary.

For recruitments with multiple hires:

  • Create one Open Rank position
  • Use the position number to create the recruitment and for the initial hire
  • Create additional positions copying from the original position for all subsequent hires
  • Use New as the action reason on the Position ePAR
  • Note the vacancy id in the ePAR comments
  • Use the appropriate rank hired, not open rank
