For every staff position at Brown, there is a corresponding job description that accurately describes the job. The job description outlines the position’s major responsibilities, details how the responsibilities are accomplished, and identifies the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the job.

All staff should have a job description that accurately describes their work. When the work performed by an incumbent changes significantly, the job description must be re-written to fully and accurately describe the work so that a comprehensive evaluation of the position can be conducted.
