Faculty Hiring Manual 2023–24
Section 5: Offer, Pre-Employment Screenings, and Onboarding
Unit Chairs must consult with their Dean to verify that the candidate and the financial terms the department seeks are satisfactory. At Rutgers, formal offers are typically extended to candidates by the Dean, who should ensure that the salary level and any start-up costs are consistent with what is being offered in similar units at Rutgers and comparable universities and made in accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements. If applicable, the Dean should also consult with the Chancellor to obtain final approval to extend the offer.
