Subject: Research Personnel Appointments It is the policy of the University to appoint research personnel to support faculty research activities. This policy sets forth the terms and conditions of employment for these personnel. |

| 2.01 | Senior Research
Associate - Appointment as a senior research associate is made by the
Vice President of the Main Campus to an individual who holds an earned doctorate
and who possesses special qualifications for making significant professional
contributions to the research projects in which he or she is engaged. This
is a full-time academic appointment. Although not a faculty member, a senior
research associate is ordinarily considered equivalent in rank, fringe benefits
and privileges to an assistant professor. An individual holding this appointment
is eligible to participate in teaching activities on a part-time basis. An
appointment is made for a specified period, is renewable annually, and carries
no implication of a continuing relationship with the university nor provision
for earning tenure. In general, the maximum period for such appointment is
five years, although in appropriate cases this may be extended.

benefits and privileges to an instructor.
It is the responsibility of the department recommending the appointment to ascertain, in consultation with the International Office, the eligibility for employment including ability to produce appropriate (or required) proof of citizenship or visa status. To be eligible for benefits, the appointment must be for paid full-time employment for a period of more than six months.
