Job Posting Paragraph
2011 UNIVERSITY RECRUITMENT STATEMENTS
CMU STATEMENT
Standardized statements for CMU job advertisements have been created in order to ensure uniformity and accuracy in describing the university. Departments can choose from the following statements when writing a faculty job advertisement. It is recommended that departments use the long description when writing an advertisement for a chairperson/director position. Departments are encouraged to use the short or medium description for faculty advertisements. When posting an abbreviated advertisement which directs the reader to a website for the complete job posting, a CMU description is not mandatory in the printed advertisement but must be included at the website location.
