Our Two Tenure Tracks

We offer a tenure track and a curator tenure track.

Tenure Track

The tenure track is for faculty in any department whose primary career is in independent, investigator-initiated research and who devote some time to education and service. Faculty whose primary career combines independent investigator-initiated research and clinical activities and who devote some time to education and service are also eligible. Faculty on this track carry the title of assistant professor, associate professor, or professor.

Curator Tenure Track

Faculty on this track are curators whose primary career is the provision of medical and health sciences information in an academic environment and the support of scholarly work, research, and the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine curriculum. They advance the profession of health sciences librarianship through research, national professional engagement, and scholarship. Faculty on this track carry the titles of assistant curator, associate curator, or curator.

Our Five Nontenure Tracks

Our nontenure tracks are scholar, educator, curator, clinical and research, and adjunct.

Scholar, Full-Time Academic Track

Faculty on this track can be from any department, have a primary career providing clinical care, and devote a substantial portion of their time to teaching, research, and service. The track is also for research faculty who devote a substantial portion of their efforts to teaching and service. The definition of scholarly activities is broad, inclusive not only of traditional metrics such as extramural funding or publications in peer-reviewed journals but may also include administrative leadership and high levels of service and leadership in quality and safety initiatives. Faculty in this track carry the titles of assistant professor, associate professor, or professor.

Educator, Full-Time Academic Track

Faculty on this track are clinicians or researchers who have made significant contributions to the academic and educational mission of NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. This includes leadership roles in educational programs, development of new and innovative curricula, substantive teaching responsibilities, development of unique educational tools and resources such as assessment models or simulation training, and scholarly or pedagogical work in the field. Involvement in education may be in addition to clinical or research activities, or educational pursuits may encompass their primary role. Faculty in this track carry the titles of assistant professor, associate professor, or professor.

Curator, Full-Time Academic Track

Faculty on this track are practice-based curators who almost exclusively focus on service, education, and the support of research, clinical care, and the educational mission of the institution. They carry the titles of assistant curator, associate curator, or curator.

Clinical and Research, Part-Time Academic Track

This track includes clinicians with primary roles in providing patient care and who devote some time to scientific investigation, as well as researchers who are members of laboratories supervised by independent, funded scientists and who may devote some time to service and education. Faculty on this track may teach and mentor. Clinical faculty carry the titles of clinical assistant professor, clinical associate professor, or clinical professor. Research faculty carry the titles of research assistant professor, research associate professor, or research professor.
