Hiring & Initial Appointments

Hiring & Initial Appointments

• Once a written offer is signed, the hiring process in Duke@Work (SAP) can begin.  New faculty hires are initiated using the New Faculty Member form in dFac.
   
• After a New Faculty Member form is initiated, incoming faculty have the "pre-hire" status until their start date.  Pre-hires are eligible to access several Duke systems in order to facilitate the onboarding process. Pre-hires  may also be eligible for a sponsored account.
   
• Duke Visa Services offer many resources to assist with the hiring process.
   
• Research Navigators can assist incoming faculty with any research-related tasks, including applying for PI status.
