For reference, Forwarded is the process for non-Dean-of-Faculty positions (which is really designed for hiring admins, etc, but also used for software engineer type positions). In principle, for one or both of the positions in play, we could do a DoF hire (research-engineer or something). In fact, if someone has a PhD, it is _required_ to be through DoF. There _would_ be an upside, that there would be more flexibility in their responsibilities/location/job description/etc. -Amit -------------------- Start of forwarded message -------------------- Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 09:59:30 -0400 (EDT) From: Elizabeth Wang <ew0001@cs.princeton.edu> To: "Amit A.
