NON-TENURED TRACK – Research Track
With few exceptions, research faculty recruitment in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery is confined to the non-tenured research track. Scientific research is costly and University resources are limited; currently only a small portion of the departmental budget is derived from state sources. Therefore, a significant component of a faculty’s workload in the research track is the time spent seeking external support. Teaching, administrative and service duties are subordinate to research responsibilities. On the average, it is expected that a faculty member in the research track will spend between 50% to 75% of his/her time in research related activities, 15% to 35% teaching related activities and 10% to 25% of his/her time in service-related activities.
