Search Guidelines
- PSOM National and Limited Search Guidelines
- Search Waivers: In certain circumstances, the Office of the Provost can waive a formal search. These are typically rare and must meet the grounds for waivers outlined in University Policy. Departments interested in pursuing a waiver should contact PSOM's Office of Academic Affairs (Kim Haebel in OAA khaebel@upenn.edu) to discuss the circumstances and process.
