Hiring Process

1. Review of applications

• Staff applications are reviewed by a committee comprised of ISE staff and the executive dean of the voyage, while faculty positions are reviewed by ISE staff and the academic dean. The final hiring decision lies with the executive dean and the academic dean respectively.
• One you complete your application online, it will stay active for five years. To reapply for positions, simply relink your application to the desired job posting.

2. Interviews with finalists

• If you are selected as a finalist for a position, you will be contacted for a telephone interview by the academic or executive dean respectively.
• Typically, if you have not been contacted three months prior to a voyage, it is likely that the position has been filled with another applicant. Staff applicants can confirm this by going to http://ise.simplehire.com and clicking on search postings. If you do not see a particular position listed, that means the position has been filled.

3. Appointments made

• Generally, staff appointments are made three to six months prior to sailing, while faculty appointments are made five months to one year prior. However, ISE reserves the right to fill any position at any time. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
• Competition for ISE positions can be very intense and we are often asked why one applicant is hired over another. Our aim is to build a team for each voyage that will work closely together to fulfill the mission of our program. Careful attention is given to how the staff and faculty members complement each other's skills and personalities. For this reason, while you may be a qualified candidate, it may be difficult to be selected unless you have the flexibility to be considered for several voyages.
