Waiver for National Faculty Search Approval Request

Please Read Before Completing Form:

This form is to be used to request to waive a national search. A Search Waiver can only be requested for the following:


Dual Career: Candidate is a Dual Career Partner being hired through the Dual Career Program (the waiver for a search does not waive the requirement of a full review with faculty evaluations, recommendations, and chair recommendation to the dean).


Staff: Candidate is a current staff member at Ohio State with current instructional duties and is being moved to a clinical / teaching / practice position.


Staff: Candidate is a current staff member at Ohio State in a Research Scientist position with current student mentoring duties and is being moved to a Research Faculty position.


Nationwide Children’s Hospital (NCH): Search Waiver for physician/faculty appointment at OSU


Academic Continuity Exception: Requests for expedited posting (24 hour minimum) to ensure business continuity (i.e. vacated Associated Faculty position mid-semester).


Other: Fulbright and similar; demonstrated competitive review and evaluation included in the program selection process.


All searches for tenure track positions must use a national search, whether the candidate is internal or external to OSU, with the exception of dual careers.


Units must use a national search for all faculty positions that include the recruitment of candidates external to OSU, with the exception of dual careers.


Please note: No additional steps in a search may be conducted until search waiver approval is granted.
