- Promotion and tenure
Panel discussion presented by Jennifer West and Kathy Matthews at the 2011 NSF ADVANCE Workshop: Negotiating the Ideal Faculty Position, A Workshop for Underrepresented PhDs and Postdocs in Science, Engineering and Psychology September 18-20, 2010
Goals
- Institution
- Tenure is a life-long commitment by the university to you
- Successful faculty – innovators, leaders, producers
- Research objectives need to align with institutional directions
- You
- Faculty position that meets your own research and career objectives
- Member of functional, innovative and forward-looking department and institution
- Security offered by tenure
What can i do now?
Think about your steps all along the way
- Consistently evaluate your own progress
- Goals
- Mechanisms to get there
- Ways to learn from others and engage them
- Keep data on all your activities
- Ask for feedback
- Grant writing
- Papers
- Teaching
- Research program organization and development
This process is the accumulation of years of effort
THINK AHEAD!!
Understand the general process
- Learn about the promotion and tenure process at your institution
- Ask about the process at every stage if you have questions
- Request a copy of the policy
- Be sure when you are interviewing that the policy is consistent with your personal goals
- Understand the balance of teaching, research, and service that the institution AND the department will expect
- Understand the audience(s) for the materials
General process — the dossier
Dossier
- Summary of your independent career at institution
- Information on all aspects of your career
- Research summary (publications, grants, citations, awards)
- Teaching summary (courses, evaluations, awards)
- Service summary (activities, awards)
- Inside reviews/letters
- Outside letters –
very important
- Writers identified by department
- Also usually writers identified by individual
Dossier components
- CV as summary of career
- Education
- Honors
- Teaching/advising/mentoring
- Citations
- Grants
- Publications
- Research/teaching summary written by candidate
- Outside letters
What happens after dossier is prepared?
- Department review
- Tenured faculty generally involved in decision to recommend or deny tenure
- Department chair writes letter
- Some schools have subcommittee
- School review
- Often school-level committee reviews and makes recommendation to dean
- Dean makes recommendation
- Promotion/Tenure Committee (Provost)
- Makes recommendation to President
- President sometimes makes final decision
What happens after dossier is prepared?
- Department review
- School review
- Promotion/Tenure Committee (Provost)
- President may make final decision
Multiple levels of review — no one person makes the decision! Many voices are part of the process.
General process
- Understand the timing of preparing the dossier, what you should submit
and when
- Think carefully about names for Outside Letters
- Understand the process completely
- Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare your materials
- Think about your research/teaching summary
- Ensure that your papers are submitted in a timely way
- Ask QUESTIONS if you do not understand
Outside letters
- Highly influential in decision process
- May have opportunity to suggest names
- Develop relationships - create a network – MARKET yourself!
- Post-decision: Ask about possibility for feedback from the letters (can be useful)
Questions & Answers
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance
Can you compute that for me. Ty

what is the dimension formula of energy?
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes
Adjei
please, I'm a physics student and I need help in physics
Adjanou
chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity
2. A sled plus passenger with total mass 50 kg is pulled 20 m across the snow (0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 25° above the horizontal. Calculate (a) the work of the applied force, (b) the work of friction, and (c) the total work.
you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
Joseph
"Generation of electrical energy from sound energy | IEEE Conference Publication | IEEE Xplore" ***ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7150687?reload=true
Ryan
what are the types of wave
Maurice
fine, how about you?

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
Who can show me the full solution in this problem?
