Yes they will, IF they are hiring...which Outlaw is correct, University is on a hiring freeze.
From what I've seen, there has been some difficulty for a person who did not get their flight training done at ERAU to transition to the ERAU standards. Nothing as serious as sending you home during New-hire training (so far that I've seen), but will delay your money-making. Once you do get hired, they put quite a bit into getting you standardized and will do the best they can to get you up to ERAU standards. I've seen, however, some IPs here that can only teach VFR due to their lack of progress in teaching IFR to ERAU standards.
If you want to end up teaching at ERAU, and you are worried about this, try to prepare yourself as much as possible. Go to the flight homepage of whatever campus you want to go to, (ie for PRC,
ERAU Flight since I don't know DAB's) and look around and start reading up on the documents there.
