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:

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.

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.
