Initiate a Hire or Promotion Case

Cases Submitted Through Interfolio

All Staff Scientist, Senior Scientist, and Faculty Scientist cases included above must be initiated and routed through Interfolio.

For promotion cases: The candidate can be granted access to Interfolio to upload and manage their candidate materials before the case is forwarded to the next stage of review by the responsible manager or ad hoc committee.

For hire cases: For now, hire cases may be submitted through the regular submission process or through Interfolio.

If using Interfolio, the Case Administrator should create the case using the “without candidate input” setting. The candidate does not need access to the Interfolio case.

All required candidate materials should be uploaded directly by the hiring manager, committee member, or designated Division administrator.

Coming in early 2027: We plan to transition hire cases to Interfolio’s Faculty Search module. This will provide a workflow designed specifically for recruitment and hiring and will allow candidates to upload their documents directly into Interfolio.

Additional guidance will be provided as we prepare for this next phase.

Research Scientist Cases

For now, Research Scientist cases should continue to follow the existing process. Please use the current forms and route the case through your Division’s regular approval process.

The Career Pathways Office is evaluating the Research Scientist process as part of the broader transition to Interfolio. Research Scientist cases are expected to be incorporated into Interfolio in a future phase.
