Faculty/Staff Administrators

Office of Faculty Affairs

The Office of Faculty Affairs resides in the Office of the Provost and provides support for faculty and administrators in completing a variety of administrative tasks. Faculty Affairs oversees faculty job postings, offers, reappointments, promotion and tenure, faculty awards, instructor credentials, and a number of other administrative processes. 

Faculty Hiring Process

All new faculty appointments are processed through PageUp, the University’s recruitment and application system. Applicants must apply for vacant positions and be selected for hire in PageUp. Please review the Faculty Position Posting Guide for instructions on how to post a position in PageUp. Reappointments are processed via reappointment agreement (see below form).

Faculty Search Committee Training Sessions

The University of Houston hosts faculty search committee training sessions to support its commitment to recruiting and retaining faculty members that will advance the University’s national competitiveness, student success, and community engagement goals. The training focuses on sharing best practices, resources, guidelines, and practical suggestions that will help make the search more productive and successful. Search committee members are required to attend one training session every two years prior to their service on a search committee. We have multiple training sessions and faculty members can schedule a session that works for their schedule.

Sign up for a Faculty Search Committee Training Session

Please feel free to contact the Office of Faculty Recruitment and Retention at fac-rred@uh.edu or by phone at 713-743-6268.

Instructor Credentials:

The University of Houston appoints all tenured, tenure track and non-tenure track faculty and instructors of record in accordance with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges Faculty Credentialing Guidelines (PDF). To determine if an instructor has the appropriate credentials, please review the Instructor Credential Guidelines. If an individual to be appointed instructor of record does not have appropriate academic qualifications, a justification form must be completed to document the instructor’s qualifications and experience. The relationship of the instructor’s qualifications and experience to the specific subject matter and topics covered in the course must be apparent and comprehensively summarized on the form.

For questions regarding the faculty hiring process, please email facultyaffairs@uh.edu.
