The new Request to Search form replaces the following forms:

  • Non-exempt Personnel Requisition
  • R-Account Requisition
  • Limited Duration Appointment Requisition
  • Previous Request to Search form

Departments will work with the HR-Employment to coordinate the posting of all regular non-exempt vacancies (E-Account and R-Account). Please review the Non-exempt Search Procedures for detailed instructions.

Limited Duration Exempt Appointments are (E-Account) regular appointments for a period of twelve months. Limited Duration Exempt Appointments are available for positions that meet certain criteria and must be project-oriented. A full affirmative action search is not required in the case of limited duration exempt vacancies. Please review the Limited Duration Appointment Procedures.

R-Account Exempt searches are conducted for grant-funded, exempt vacancies. Departments will work with HR-Employment to coordinate the posting of all regular R-Account Exempt position vacancies. Please review the R-Account Search Procedures for detailed instructions.

A full Affirmative Action search is required in the case of all regular faculty and exempt (E-Account) positions. Please review the UT Search Procedures provided by the Office of Equity & Diversity.
