Research Hiring

The Office of the Provost has developed the following guide—in collaboration with various University partners—to showcase the many staffing options available to faculty to support their scholarly pursuits. Please review the resources and related guides below to better understand the various structures and related hiring processes available to you.

Any outstanding questions should be directed to your college or school's research dean or finance and administration team.

Please note: Villanova's hiring processes are the same regardless of a position's funding source (e.g. grant vs. University funded). Be advised, work cannot begin until the hiring process is complete and appropriate work authorization has been provided.
