Our interaction with other educational, research and
clinical institutions in the region has led to a number of
formal affiliation agreements for collaborative or cooperative research
and/or teaching. Because the individuals at these institutions may provide
a variety of forms of assistance in both the educational and research roles
of KUMC and have academic credentials consistent with faculty status, a faculty track was created for the University of Kansas Medical
Center and its Wichita Campus which facilitates participation of these
individuals in the research and educational mission of the University.
Participation in this track is available to individuals employed by the
several research institutes in the metropolitan area as well as selected
other institutions which have formal affiliation agreements with the
university. These are non-paid positions, which do not accumulate credit
towards tenure, but require a significant commitment of the individual to
the research and/or educational mission of the University.
Individuals who wish appointments in this track must apply through a regular academic
department at the University of Kansas Medical Center or its Wichita Campus.
Applicants must be employed by an institution which has a formal affiliation
agreement with the University of Kansas for the purposes of collaborative or
cooperative research and/or education and is approved by the Chancellor. Acceptance of such an appointment
will imply a significant contribution of time and effort to the University
and its collaborative teaching and research programs. Faculty appointments
in this Affiliate Track carry unmodified titles and are classified
as volunteer faculty.
Following initial appointment in this track, promotion in rank or status will be considered by the normal, peer review processat the department level followed by consideration of the promotion recommendation at the level of the school or equivalent promotion and tenure
committee and the Dean of the school.
