Physical Sciences and Engineering Scholarship Guidelines for Tenure

NOTE:  These guidelines are to be used when an Associate Professor on term is being promoted to a tenured position, either Associate Professor with tenure or full Professor.

A set of 5 selected articles representing the candidate’s research program that will be read by the entire Tenure Appointments and Promotions Committee.  These are usually published or “in press” journal articles, and they should help the committee grasp the range and significance of the candidate’s scholarship and research.  Manuscripts in preparation or submitted are not acceptable. Include a list (cover sheet) with this section explaining the source (i.e. book or journal title) of each article and the page numbers.

As part of the candidate’s submitted materials, the candidate should be providing a full CV listing all published and in-press work, and seminars presented.  On this CV, the candidate should also list awards, prizes, and professional recognition, as well current and recent past grants awarded, with the candidate’s role on each grant explicitly stated (e.g., principal investigator). The time period of each grant should be provided, as should the amount of funding specifically allocated to the candidate.
