Annual Open Rank Postings - Professional Track Faculty

For additional information about Professional Track faculty, see:

Academic departments are strongly encouraged to publish each fall an open rank posting on Interfolio for professional-track teaching positions. Departments can hire from this applicant pool throughout the year as needed, to cover temporary instructor vacancies in scheduled courses.

The department should close each annual job posting at the end of each academic year and communicate with all applicants. It is recommended to close the position just prior to posting a new one for the next AY in order to maintain a consistent, current applicant pool.

New professional-track faculty may be offered only one-year contracts for their first six semesters in rank at UT Austin.

COE template

A job posting template will be shared with each academic department chair and Administrative Manager at the beginning of the fall semester, and will also be made available on Box (access restricted; see Step 1 in the table below).
