Job Title

For ALL postings (except student):

If it is an internal search, add the following after the job title:  (Internal Employment Opportunity)

Example:  Accounting Technician (Internal Employment Opportunity) or Office Manager (Internal Employment Opportunity)

 

For Classified and Temporary Staff postings:

The job title field will carry over from the approved position description to this field on the posting but will not populate in Banner.  

If there are abbreviations or other formatting issues, please update the job title to a professional format.

Example:  Change "Admin Program Asst" to "Administrative Program Assistant"

If the department wishes to add a more descriptive title than the standard classification, a descriptor may be added after the classification title:

Example:  Administrative Program Assistant (Undergraduate Program Support)

If the posting is going to be used as a master pool, you may update the job title to refect that it is a pool:

Example:  Veterinary Technician 2 - Pool or Able Mariner Oceanus - 2019 Relief Pool

 

For Administrative/Professional Faculty postings:

The job title field will carry over from the approved position description to this field on the posting.

If there are abbreviations or other formatting issues, please update the job title to a professional format.

Example:  Change "Mgr-Info Services" to "Information Services Manager"

When creating Master Pools, enter a job title to reflect that it is a pool.

Example:  Athletics Camps Athletic Trainer Pool - 2019

For administrative/professional faculty positions, the job title approved on the position description will display in the following areas and is limited to 30 characters:

  • On the employee’s position description in the job title field
  • In the Banner database as the employee’s job title (administrative/professional faculty only)
  • The Banner job title will reflect in the OSU Find Someone directory

Job titles, or working titles, should reasonably reflect the nature of the work performed, be distinct enough to differentiate the job, and be consistent with other titles where similar work is done in the job family or across the unit.

A job title needs to represent the work as a whole. Job titles that do not accurately describe the core of the position may cause misrepresentation if expectations based on the title do not accurately reflect the real authority or autonomy of the position.

If a job title does not comport with the alignment of the position, the Office of Human Resources-Classification and Compensation will partner with the Business Center Human Resources and the unit to find an appropriate job or working title for the position.

 

For Academic Teaching/Research Faculty postings: 

The job title field will carry over from the approved position description to this field on the posting but will not populate in Banner.  

Add a short descriptor to a ranked facult position to make it as clear as possible to applicants.

Example:  Assistant Professor:  Microbiology

When creating Master Pools, enter a job title to reflect that it is a pool.

Example:  Instructor Pool - 2019/2020

If recruiting for MULTIPLE RANKS, use the following format:

Example:  Assistant/Associate/Full Professor OR Faculty Research Assistant/Research Associate

 

For Academic Wage postings:

Because academic wage postings are created from a classification title, vs a position description, you will need to manually enter a job title.  Academic wage positions have generic titles, so you MUST add a descriptor or rank to the job title. 

Example:  Academic Wage-Salaried:  Faculty Research Assistant
