Graduate Faculty Nomination Form
For individuals who are neither tenured nor tenure-track faculty members of
Rutgers University or the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
Graduate School - New Brunswick
Tenured and tenure-track faculty members of Rutgers University or Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School may be appointed to Membership or Associate Membership in the Faculty of the Graduate
School - New Brunswick at the initiative of a graduate program. No further review is entailed. An
appointment form for such individuals is available from the Graduate School office (extension
7275) or on the Graduate School web site (http://gsnb.rutgers.edu/).
All other nominees to Membership or Associate Membership, upon nomination by a program
faculty, must be reviewed by the appropriate Area Committee and by the Executive Council, on the
evidence presented on this form as well as in a letter of transmittal from the director of the graduate
program indicating the nominee's anticipated role in the program.
Full Membership in the Graduate Faculty
Scholarship and competence for graduate instruction, including the supervision of doctoral
dissertations, are the bases for membership in the Graduate Faculty. In reviewing the qualifications
of proposed members, the Area Committee and the Executive Council are particularly interested in
their contributions to scholarship. The principal evidence of research accomplishment is publication
in books and journals for which the acceptance of manuscripts is determined by qualified scholars
exercising independent judgment. In addition, the Area Committee considers any prior record of
program involvement by the nominee. Normally, only full-time faculty members of Rutgers, the
State University of New Jersey, or Robert Wood Johnson Medical School of the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey are eligible for membership; others may be considered if it
can be shown that they will have a continuing and active involvement in the program.
Members conduct graduate courses and supervise research by chairing and/or serving on students'
committees. They also participate in Graduate Faculty meetings, exercise voting privileges, serve on
standing committees of the Graduate School - New Brunswick, and are collectively responsible for
academic policy in graduate studies.
Associate Membership in the Graduate Faculty
Faculty members and others who do not meet the criteria for membership in the Graduate Faculty
may be nominated as associate members by graduate programs.
An associate member is authorized to teach graduate courses, serve on students' committees, and
supervise students' research at the master's level. Associate members may not chair doctoral
committees. Associate members may participate in program and school affairs, except for those
roles explicitly limited to members.
Adjunct Membership in the Graduate Faculty
Individuals who are neither tenured nor on tenure-track appointments at Rutgers or at the Robert
Wood Johnson Medical School may be nominated for adjunct membership. Adjunct members shall
have voice, but not vote in the affairs of the graduate programs and at meetings of the Graduate
Faculty. They may serve on, but may not chair, student committees. They may serve on other
program committees if asked to do so. They will not be eligible to serve on standing committees of
the Graduate School - New Brunswick, nor as representatives of the school to the University Senate,
or the New Brunswick Faculty Council. Adjunct members may be appointed by the dean upon
nomination by the faculty of a graduate program.
Procedures
Nominations must originate with the faculty of the nominating program and be forwarded with an
explanatory cover letter by the graduate program director accompanied by a copy of the
appointee's curriculum vitae to the Office of the Dean, Graduate School - New Brunswick.
Nominations to the rank of adjunct member will be endorsed by the dean. All other nominations
will be forwarded to the Area Committee for review. The recommendations of the Area Committee
will then be conveyed to the Executive Council, which advises the dean. Please complete the form
and send it (electronically if possible).
