91Ҹ Faculty HR Processes
The 91Ҹ & Innovation Office is responsible for the oversight, review and approval of all "research faculty hiring" who are typically employed by tenure-track faculty who serve as PI's (Principal Investigators) with research grants on the 91Ҹ Campus. We hope that the following information will facilitate ease in working with already-established, as well as upcoming, campus policies and procedures.
91Ҹ Campus 91Ҹ Associate Faculty Series (referred to as “91Ҹ Faculty”) include the following titles:
- Professional 91Ҹ Assistants (PRAs)
- Sr. Professional 91Ҹ Assistants (Sr. PRAs)
- 91Ҹ Associates
- Sr. 91Ҹ Associates
The appointing authority for 91Ҹ Campus research faculty and Post-Doctoral Fellowship recipients is Dr. Terri Fiez, Vice Chancellor for 91Ҹ & Innovation, as delegated in Policy 2-K from the Board of Regents to the 91Ҹ President, to the 91Ҹ Campus Chancellor, to the 91Ҹ Campus Vice Chancellor for 91Ҹ & Innovation.
All research faculty, 91Ҹ Professor Series, and Post-Doctoral Fellowship recipients are at-will employees who are paid on monthly/salaried appointments. The primary responsibility of research faculty is to support and advance the research mission of the 91Ҹ 91Ҹ.
