Research Associate or Research Scientist
From time to time, and in response to a departmental recommendation, the Dean of the Faculty will appoint a local or visiting scholar or scientist to the position of Research Associate or Research Scientist.
- These short term (one semester to one year) appointments carry with them no compensation, and it is understood that arrangements for the use of office or laboratory space, instrumentation, equipment, administrative services, and the like will be made through the chair of the department concerned and continued thereafter at the convenience of department and College. Though these appointments are renewable, there is a strong presumption against extending them for more than five years.
- The requesting department or program should bear in mind that they serve as the Research Associate’s host at the college, and that these appointments are typically established to facilitate research collaboration. Independent scholars seeking access to college resources will not automatically be approved as Research Associates.
- The College will defray no legal costs and accept no liability for damages in connection with any legal action arising from the individual's research, publications, or other professional activities.
- This position does not require any pay or compensation from the College.
