Appointment Titles and PercentsFaculty Fellows will have a 100% nine-month combined appointment as Lecturer and Faculty Fellow Researcher. All appointments will consist of the appropriate Lecturer percent time with the remaining percentage attributed to the Faculty Fellow Researcher title. The percent of the Lecturer appointment will conform to the provisions of the Unit 18 Lecturer Memoradum of Understanding. Over the course of an academic year, they will teach one course each quarter with a typical appointment being 50% Lecturer and 50% Faculty Fellow Researcher. During the summer, Faculty Fellows may be appointed for up to 2/9ths in the Faculty Fellow Researcher title with funding from grants or discretionary departmental resources. Fellows may also be hired for up to two months in any other title during the summer.

Faculty Fellows are not eligible for merits but are eligible for range adjustments on the Lecturer salary scale. The service period will be Fall 2008 - Spring 2010. The pay period will be July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2010 EligibilityFaculty Fellowships will be awarded to recent U.C. Ph.D.s who demonstrate promise for excellence in both teaching and research. Recent U.C. M.F.A.s are also eligible if the nominating department employs ladder-rank faculty with M.F.A.s in the nominee's subfield. At the time of nomination, candidates must be advanced to candidacy, in the final stages of writing their dissertation, and projected to complete all requirements for the degree prior to July 1, 2008. All offers are contingent upon successful completion of the degree by July 1, 2008.

When they complete their Ph.D. or M.F.A., their appointment will be changed to Faculty Fellow Researcher/Lecturer at 100% time beginning Winter quarter, but the end date of their Faculty Fellow service period will not be extended.
