Faculty are not scheduled to be on call for diagnostic service in the evenings or overnight.
Full-time faculty benefits include one month of vacation in 12 months (22 working days) plus 2 personal observance days and approximately 12-14 university holiday days/year. MSU offers a uniquely superior retirement plan including a 10% university match for a 5% employee contribution toward the 403(b) program. Other benefits include health insurance and access to optional insurance at discounted university rates (including dental, vision, life, pet, home, and auto), subsidized backup/emergency childcare, and waitlist preference for MSU's Spartan Child Development Center.

Professional misconduct includes misconduct related to a person's employment, including, but not limited to, theft, embezzlement, research integrity, discrimination, or harassment under civil rights laws and policies, including protected identity harassment, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct (sexual assault, sexual exploitation, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, etc.), and retaliation. All applicants will be asked to sign an authorization and release, which authorizes the University to contact the candidate's current and former employers, for a period of 7 years prior to the date of application, related to any pending investigations, findings of responsibility and/or sanctions related to professional misconduct. Nothing will be sent to current or former employers unless the candidate reaches the semi-finalist stage.
The existence of professional misconduct history does not automatically exclude a candidate from employment. The University will assess the information, including any information provided by the candidate, in determining whether the candidate is fit for the position. The University may decline to hire a candidate based on the professional misconduct review. All records obtained from external employers will be kept in a secure location, separate from personnel files. If an applicant fails to sign the authorization and release, the application will be deemed incomplete and will be withdrawn.
Applications will be reviewed as needed.
