Faculty Professor Appointments
An appointment that renews the affiliation of certain retired faculty, allowing them to continue contributing to research, scholarship or creative activities after their retirement.
Overview
Faculty Professor appointments provide a means whereby important and productive research, scholarship and creative activity can be continued, on a selective basis, beyond the date of a professor’s retirement.
A retiring member of the academic staff of the University of Ģý may be recommended by the Dean of the Faculty to the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) for an appointment of one to five years’ duration as a Faculty Professor. The initiative in selecting retiring faculty members for such an appointment rests with the University.
In order to qualify for an appointment as a Faculty Professor, a retiring faculty member must have an on-going independent research program that would warrant a continuing research affiliation with a Faculty at the University of Ģý and would benefit its research affiliation with a Faculty at the University of Ģý and would benefit its graduate students. Normally such a program would be expected to be eligible for and attract sponsorship from one of the granting councils or from a similar external source.
