Home to more than 800 faculty across 50+ departments and programs in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, CAS is a dynamic and interdisciplinary academic community. Our faculty and advisors work closely with students to develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and clear communication skills to address real-world challenges.

Reporting directly to the Operations Manager and working as part of the ASU Academic team, this position coordinates completion of all faculty-related processes within the assigned ASU, which include faculty searches, tenure track faculty promotion and tenure process, reviews and evaluations, and contract renewals for non-tenure track faculty.
