You need to submit your application to the HRDO. From there, it goes to the department you're applying to. The department's academic personnel committee (APC) checks if there's an opening and reviews your application. If it looks good, they'll ask you to do a 'teaching demonstration'. If they're happy with that, your application moves up to the college's personnel committee, then to the UPLB academic personnel board, then to the UP System committee, and finally, the UP System Board of Regents will give the final confirmation.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you commit to teaching, research, and extension work for several years?
  • How do you feel about the semestral student evaluations for every course you teach?
  • Are you comfortable starting with temporary status and aiming for permanent status through your qualifications, publications, and performance reviews?
