Promotion and Tenure Plan Early and Often, BUT What do you need to know to plan? ? Susan K. Pingleton, MD Robert Klein, Ph. D

Fundamental Principles of Promotion and Tenure • Time is crucial only for Tenure Track • 7 year Probationary period • Promotion is based on achievements!! • Achievements MUST be documented • In a manner that basic scientists can understand! • If it is not on your CV that is submitted to P & T committee, it didn’t happen!! • (some info from Chair, reference letters )

What do junior faculty need to know (especially non-tenure track ) • Rank • Track – Tenure vs non-tenure track • Academic expectations for each rank and track • “Early Career” corresponds to asst Prof • “Mid Career” corresponds to Assoc Prof • “Established Career” corresponds to Prof

Tenure Vs Non-Tenure Track • Un-modified Title – Asst professor, assoc professor, etc Non-Tenure Track • Un-modified title – Asst professor, assoc professor, etc • Mandatory mid-cycle review • No mid-cycle review (may be – Year 3 in grade department dependent) • Mandatory Time for promotion (7 years) – Mandatory mid cycle review – Must apply for promotion in 6 th year • No time restrictions for promotion • Contract - 1, 2, or 3 years rolling contract

Required Materials for Mid-Cycle Tenure Track Faculty Review • A current CV of the faculty member under review (in the KUSOM format) • A written summary evaluation, faculty member's past performance and potential for continued progress toward tenure • Copies of faculty member's annual reviews since their start date • • Any other evidence the individual faculty member or chair may wish to provide as progress towards tenure and academic promotion
