Faculty Self-Assessment: Am I on track for promotion?
Associate Professor | Teaching Scholar
Criteria for Associate Professor, Teaching Scholar
The faculty member has assumed a major teaching role in a university program (e.g., leadership of or a major contribution
to a required course, residency or fellowship program, or in a substantial elective course offered yearly). Excellence and
innovation in teaching attested by students and also, if possible, by peers, is a major requirement for this appointment. The
individual must have a national reputation in his/her area. The individual will be evaluated by letters from outstanding
faculty in the field outside Brown University who are asked to compare the candidate with others in his/her national peer
group and to indicate their support for promotion or appointment. A continuous record of scholarly publications, which
includes peer-reviewed publications and may include textbooks, curriculum models, descriptions of clinical issues, audiovisual materials, or book chapters, is also expected. Exceptional clinical skills are accorded positive consideration. Also
considered favorably are service contributions to the university or the hospital when a significant role can be documented.
Appointment at this rank is for renewable five-year terms.
