Fellows cannot be appointed and placed on payroll until the dissertation is filed. A copy of the “Certificate of Completion” will be required on the appointment date of July 1, 2018.
The number of Assistant Adjunct Professors to be awarded each year in the Faculty Fellows Program will depend on the amount of available funding given through the Dean’s Allocation of the department budget.

Initial appointment as a Faculty Fellow is for one year. Fellows may apply for one additional year, based on department needs, but preference will be given to students newly coming into the program. Consistent with other non-Senate appointments, appointments will be made on a year-to-year basis, subject to renewal within the established limitations of the program.

Most appointments will involve teaching 3 undergraduate courses.

The appointment will have the official title of Assistant Adjunct Professor (Title Code 3278). The annual gross salary at 60% time for 2018-19 is $ 36,180 (paid over 12 months at $3,015.00/mo). The salaries are subject to range adjustments (when applicable), but appointees are not eligible for merit increases due to the length of the fellowship.

The dissertation must be filed before June 16 and a copy of the “Certificate of Completion” must be turned in for the fellowship to take effect.
