Academic titles
Here's a quick guide to understanding academic titles at Iowa State.
- Tenure faculty -- May be any rank (assistant, associate or full
professor) and are tenured.
- Tenure-track faculty -- May be any rank but are considered on a
"probationary basis" until receiving tenure, usually in the seventh year.
- Continuous adjuncts -- May be any rank, but are not eligible for
tenure. This is a set group of temporary faculty who were given a continuous
appointment in a one-time university decision in the early '90s.
- Adjuncts -- May be instructor or any rank, but are not eligible for
tenure. They are appointed for one to three years and may hold a full-time
position for no more than seven years.
- Temporary appointments -- May be any rank, but are not eligible for
tenure. They receive a one-year contract and may be appointed for no more
than five years on a full-time basis.
- Visiting appointments -- May be any rank, but appointments are for one
year or less.
- Collaborators -- May be any rank but receive no compensation. The
appointment lasts as long as both parties agree.
- Affiliates -- May be any rank but receive no compensation nor may they
be assigned any duties. They are appointed for one to three years and
appointments may be renewed. They are here to carry out scholarly activities
that will benefit both the affiliate and the university.
