New Position (Administrative/Professional)

With second level permission and approval to create a new position, the first step in creating a new position is writing the position description. The Administrative/Professional position description should be explicit in outlining position responsibilities and necessary requirements, and must include the following:

1. Job title, position number (if a replacement position), and unit or department;
2. Primary purpose of the position;
3. Responsibilities and duties, in order of priority;
4. Minimum educational background (baccalaureate or higher in a relevant field), professional training, and experience; and
5. Organizational relationship.

If the position is new, it must be evaluated for an appropriate title and position level. This evaluation is accomplished by completing an A/P Job Description at www.jobs.ilstu.edu/hr for review by the Office of Human Resources (HR). This review is generally accomplished within 10 business days of HRs’ receipt of the complete information.
