Faculty Self-Assessment: Am I on track for promotion?
Professor | Teaching Scholar
Criteria for Professor, Teaching Scholar
The faculty member has obtained a national reputation as a teaching scholar in his/her discipline and has exceptional skills
as an educator. New or qualitatively different teaching activities since promotion or appointment to associate professor
should be documented. 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 continuing record of publications since promotion to the previous rank is expected.
Clinical skills, as well as contributions to the university or the hospital, will be considered positively. Appointment at this
rank is for renewable five-year terms.
