1. Address the message to yourself
  2. Using the email “Bcc” function, Bcc the message to the SA listserv: AASA@lists.oregonstate.edu (this prevents “reply all” messages from spamming the listserv)
  3. In the subject line, say “SA needed for [department name] [position title] search”
  4. In the body of the message, please include at least the following information :
    • Describe the search in a little more detail – repeat department name, position title, anticipated committee size, and include a brief summary of the job itself and/or context for the search
    • Identify the search timeline and anticipated time commitment/frequency of meetings (if known)
    • Tell the reader whether the SA and committee together will have a chance to review and provide feedback on the job description before the job is posted
    • Tell the reader whether the SA and committee together will be expected to develop the criteria matrix before the job is posted (as a secondary check on the qualifications and description of the job).  If not, will the committee and SA still be expected to develop this tool before screening?
    • Indicate the name and email address of the person advocates should contact to volunteer if they are eligible and available

The listserv is moderated, so your message will go to the Program Director for approval before it posts.  If you run into trouble or have questions, please contact Anne Gillies, Program Director, at anne.gillies@oregonstate.edu
