Subject: Asst/Asso/Full Research Professor Question
Hello all –
I am wondering if anyone would be able to share their faculty titling guideline from their university for what we call a non-tenure track assistant/associate/full research professor. For example, our OSU faculty titling guideline contains
the below:
Research professorships are renewable term, non-tenure track appointments at the rank of Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, and Research Professor. These positions will be used to support and enhance research
programs and initiatives, and creative activities at Oklahoma State University. The position of research professor will supplement the Research Professional position as described in the Policy Statement to Govern Appointments, Tenure, Promotions, and Related
Matters of the Faculty of Oklahoma State University (hereinafter referred to as the Policy Statement), Section 1.5.4.3. These individuals will be expected to develop independent research programs and serve as principal investigator on proposals to external
agencies. In hiring into the research professor track, the University looks to attract high quality researchers who hold promise to become engaged in the academic and scholarly activities including but not limited to performing collaborative research with
academic faculty; supervising undergraduate or graduate research; serving on departmental or college committees; and organizing, attending, and presenting at professional conferences and seminars. The primary assignment will be research and these individuals
will not serve as primary instructors in regular course offerings of departments or degree programs. Instructional activities will be limited to offerings specific to their research expertise and supervision of graduate students as provided for by membership
in the Graduate Faculty. The salaries and fringe benefits for research professors are to be paid from external grants and sponsored programs, but not from general (E&G or other appropriated base) funds. Notwithstanding the appointment period, the existence
of any research professor position is contingent upon availability of funding as provided below.
Thank you,
