Next Steps

Once you submit an application, you will receive a confirmation email. You can also log in and view your dashboard, which will show all of the jobs you have applied for, along with the application status and associated dates and times.

We keep jobs open until they are filled. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we cannot respond to every inquiry about the status of job applications.

If you meet the requirements for the job, your application will be considered along with those of other qualified applicants. If we are interested in interviewing you, an HR representative will contact you using the phone number or email address you provided.

For staff jobs:
Log in to your iCIMS account, go to your dashboard and click View Current Job Opportunities. If the job is still listed, you can reapply.

For faculty jobs:
If you accidentally deleted your application in progress, you can go back to view the job and click Apply Now, and you will be able to resubmit your deliverables. 

There is no set timeline for setting up interviews. If you are a strong candidate for the job, we will contact you about next steps.

Your application will be active until the job is filled.
