Faculty Recruitment and Searches Handbook

McMaster Engineering is committed to excellence: fundamental to this commitment is the recognition that we must recruit the best and the brightest students and faculty members, and that they will be found through outreach and recruitment practices which are inclusive and respectful of diversity.

Coffee with a Colleague

One of the opportunities offered within the Faculty of Engineering from September to May each academic year is the Coffee with a Colleague initiative. Full-time faculty members who are interested in participating in this social initiative, developed to encourage inter-departmental collaborations and informal mentorship relationships, by setting aside a few minutes a month to chat with a colleague, should email colbert@mcmaster.ca to be included on the monthly email list. Please note that you will be randomly matched with a colleague from within the Faculty of Engineering. You and your assigned colleague are responsible for finding a convenient time within the month to meet.

Engineering Life Event Fund

From time to time, faculty members may find it necessary to take a leave from their academic positions for some time. Reasons could include, but are not limited to, poor health, pregnancy and parenting, family care, or a similar life event. These events can have a negative impact on the progression of a faculty member’s scholarship and career.In recognition of this concern, the Faculty of Engineering has established a mechanism that partially addresses this matter. Faculty members can apply for support from the Engineering Life Event Fund (ELEF), particularly to hire a post-doctoral fellow or research associate to assist that faculty member’s scholarship during the period of the leave.

Continuous Improvement Through Self Assessment

Our objective is to encourage faculty members to reflect upon their contributions to our student centred research focused Faculty and University and, whenever required, help them identify opportunities to work with Department and Faculty leaders to enhance these contributions.
