Teaching

• Faculty are expected to teach courses assigned by the DEO in consultation with departmental committees.
• All faculty who teach are expected to regularly update course materials to reflect the breadth and advances of anthropological and/or global health scholarship.

Teaching

• Tenure-track faculty are expected to effectively mentor graduate students and guide them toward their degree in a timely manner

Research

• All faculty are expected to be active in research activities. Evidence for this includes being a presenter or discussant at a conference; publishing a book review, encyclopedia article, technical report, refereed article, or book chapter; and publishing a book or textbook as a sole- or joint-author, or as an editor.
  • Notably, the department does not stipulate a particular rate of publications or delineate qualifying publication outlets. The department also recognizes that joint authorship or editorship of publications is full partnership in all scholarly work produced.
• The department recognizes a variety of markers for increased reputation. This includes presenting work at major academic conferences, speaking at seminars or colloquia at other institutions, and research collaborations across institutions. Other markers include, but are not limited to, receiving awards from prestigious societies, editing special issues for reputable journals, and organizing scientific conferences, workshops, and symposia.
• Grants and fellowships enable faculty to support and expand their research activities and build a sustainable scholarly and/or creative program. Therefore, research-active faculty should apply for internal and external funding.
  • The department acknowledges that various circumstances may limit opportunities for external funding. Thus, extramural funding as an indicator of scholarly productivity will be evaluated on an individual basis, and the lack of external funding does not necessarily mean that an individual is performing below expectations. When such circumstances arise, other metrics of likely future success (e.g., evidence of submitted grants, or grants receiving high scores on review) should be considered in annual or promotional reviews.

Service

• Tenure-track faculty across ranks are expected to engage in professional service activities, which may include serving on editorial boards, organizing conferences and symposia, and reviewing grant proposals, manuscripts, and/or monographs. Consistent with the discipline, we also value service characterized by partnering with or providing expertise to governmental, non-governmental, local, and state organizations, as well as communities involved with our research.
• Tenure-track faculty are also expected to engage in service to the university that may include serving in departmental, college, or university-level committees or service positions.

Teaching

• Assistant professors should effectively mentor graduate students through being a member of or chairing graduate student examination committees.
  • We note that the department does not expect assistant professors to chair a doctoral student examination committee before the promotion and tenure year.

Research

• Tenure-track faculty at this rank should develop an increasingly active and visible research program with evidence for regular publication of research or scholarship, or the creation of creative works.
  • For faculty who intend to use a book as evidence of scholarship in their promotion dossier, there should be evidence of acceptance of a full-length book manuscript before the end of the promotion and tenure year (e.g., checking both boxes in Section 2 of “Appendix F: CLAS Checklist - Progress Toward Publication of Book in the Dossier”).

Service

• While service to the profession by faculty at this rank is encouraged, there is no expectations for significant department, college, or university-level service before the promotion and tenure year.

Teaching

• Associate professors should effectively mentor graduate students and guide them to the Ph.D. in a timely manner.

Research

• It is expected that associate professors will accumulate evidence of increasing reputation.

Service

• Faculty at this rank should continue and expand the range of professional and departmental service

Teaching

• Full professors should continue to effectively mentor graduate students and guide them to the Ph.D. in a timely manner.

Research

• It is expected that full professors will possess a national and international reputation.

Service

• Expand the range of significant service contributions within the department, college, university, and profession.
