Institute Faculty
Institute faculty appointments are made to resident university faculty as well as
to non-resident scholars. A visiting scholar may also receive a joint appointment
to an academic unit within the university, although such an appointment
is not a requirement for establishing an Institute affiliation. Appointments
are made for varying lengths of time and are renewable annually.
