Pathways to Tenure and Professorship
Pathways to Tenure
Enhance your readiness for promotion and tenure by identifying goals in the areas of teaching, research, and service, and develop strategies for achieving those goals.
Achieving tenure and promotion to associate professor depends upon demonstrating excellence in teaching and research and balancing these with contributions to service. As an assistant professor, you are invited to attend this three-part workshop series that will help you identify where you are on the path to tenure, where you want to be, and how you can strengthen your record.
Pathway to Tenure program is open to all assistant professors. We seek participants interested in enhancing their readiness for tenure by identifying goals in the areas of teaching, research, and service, and developing strategies for achieving those goals. Participation in the Pathway to Tenure program is voluntary. However, if you decide to participate, we require you to commit to attend and fully engage in all three of the following workshops: The program also requires some advance preparation for each 2.5-hour workshop. The workshops will feature individual and panel presentations, small group discussions with UNH Deans, Department Chairs, and Senior Colleagues while maximizing the time for individual goal setting and reflection.
All workshops will be hosted on the UNH Durham campus or, if there is inclement weather, via Zoom. You will receive details via email once you register.
Pathways to Professorship
Excellence in research, teaching, and service are key components in advancing the career of a faculty member. These high standards continue after promotion to Associate.
Promotion to full professor is contingent on continuing excellence in research and teaching and balancing this with high-quality contributions to service. The Pathway to Professorship program offers strategies to enhance the success of a case for promotion to the rank of full professor.
The program assists clinical, research, and tenure-track faculty members who have been promoted to Associate Professor in the past 15 years. Faculty considering going up for full professor within the next five years should attend this workshop series.
The Pathway to Professorship program includes two required workshops in October and November.
