Transcript

• 00:09So I just want to explain how
• 00:11we joined the latter faculty.
• 00:13Some people think that you're promoted
• 00:15to a ladder faculty position from
• 00:17a non ladder faculty position.
• 00:18They oftentimes use that word because for
• 00:21you it may be it feel like a promotion.
• 00:23If you trained here.
• 00:25If you were instructor before you were
• 00:27actually appointed to the latter faculty.
• 00:30But actually it's a it's
• 00:32a new position entirely.
• 00:33It requires evidence of programmatic needs.
• 00:35So your department has to say
• 00:38we need this type of position.
• 00:40We're growing in this way programmatically.
• 00:42It requires approval by the school and
• 00:45a user require approval also by the
• 00:48university to expand our ladder faculty.
• 00:50In this fashion,
• 00:51we every department has to submit
• 00:53something called a request for faculty
• 00:56position that delineates your expected track,
• 00:58the effort distribution in
• 01:00the different domains.
• 01:01And eliminates the financial
• 01:03support for the position.
• 01:04And this requires a natural search.
• 01:06There are some exceptions to that.

• 01:09if you are a K awardee that you can
• 01:11come onto the latter faculty as a
• 01:13search waiver if you're contributing
• 01:15to diversity or a special expertise
• 01:18is difficult to find,
• 01:19you might come on is what we
• 01:21call a targeted appointment.
• 01:23The offer letter, though,
• 01:24should align with the conditions
• 01:26of the approved RFP.
• 01:27And once you've been,
• 01:28you've signed your offer letter
• 01:30and you have a start date.
• 01:32That's the time for your
• 01:35assistant professorship.
• 01:36That's the time that your
• 01:38clock for promotion begins.
