Adjunct, Assistant, Associate: what’s the difference?

Today Claire and Ruth revisit the topic of job applications and discuss the different professor roles. They discuss the difference between tenure line professor positions (assistant, associate, full) and non-tenure line positions (adjunct, visiting), focusing on US definitions. They also discuss different types of institutions and how the role of the tenure line professor - and thus what makes a strong tenure line application package - varies between them.

Also, a special invitation - if you are in the hunt for a tenure line position and would like another set of eyes on your application materials, we would be glad to give our two cents!

We also refer to our previous episode on Getting a Job: Episode 14, available here: https://professorpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/14-getting-a-job

 

Does your institution have any differences from what we covered? Is there anything we missed?
