Research Support Program for Assistant Professors Description University of Washington Tacoma tenure-track faculty members are expected to meet high standards in teaching, research, and service. Junior faculty, those hired at the assistant professor level, face multiple challenges during the years leading up to the tenure decision—teaching multiple courses per quarter, honing their skills in the classroom, developing new courses and whole academic programs, helping “build the campus,” and developing their own research agenda. To assist these faculty members in the latter endeavor we have established a program of research support. This program provides junior faculty members with released time to pursue their research—one quarter with no teaching and no service. Release time for research will normally be provided during a faculty member’s third or fourth year (on the tenure clock cycle), and will never be granted for the first or sixth year. How to apply Eligible assistant professors will be invited to apply during the autumn quarter of each academic year. For more information, please contact Shelby Fritz (sfritz@u.washington.edu or 253.692.5754). |
