Promotion and Tenure Plan Early and Often, BUT What do you need

Promotion and Tenure Plan Early and Often, BUT What do you need to know to plan?? Susan K. Pingleton, MD Robert Klein, PhD

Fundamental Principles of Promotion and Tenure • Time is crucial only for Tenure Track • 7 year Probationary period

• Promotion is based on achievements!! • Achievements MUST be documented • In a manner that basic scientists can understand!

• If it is not on your CV that is submitted to P & T committee, it didn’t happen!! • (some info from Chair, reference letters )

What do junior faculty need to know (especially non-tenure track ) • Rank • Track – Tenure vs non-tenure track

• Academic expectations for each rank and track • “Early Career” corresponds to asst Prof • “Mid Career”

corresponds to Assoc Prof

• “Established Career” corresponds to Prof

Tenure Vs Non-Tenure Track Tenure Track • Un-modified Title – Asst professor, assoc professor, etc

• Mandatory mid-cycle review – Year 3 in grade

• Mandatory Time for promotion (7 years) – Mandatory mid cycle review – Must apply for promotion in 6th year

Non-Tenure Track • Un-modified title – Asst professor, assoc professor, etc

• No mid-cycle review (may be department dependent) • No time restrictions for promotion • Contract - 1,2, or 3 years rolling contract

Required Materials for Mid-Cycle Tenure Track Faculty Review • A current CV of the faculty member under review (in the KUSOM format)

• A written summary evaluation, faculty member's past performance and potential for continued progress toward tenure • Copies of faculty member's annual reviews since their start date • • Any other evidence the individual faculty member or chair may wish to provide as progress towards tenure and academic promotion
