Research Professors are funded by the grants they and/or their colleagues generate. The College of Education will provide support to centers to launch national searches that will result in the hiring of research professors who have established or show potential for establishing a strong record of extramural funding. For this initiative, supported searches will be hiring at the Associate or Full Research Professor rank. Successful applicants will sign a three-year Fixed Term contract, with renewal contingent on performance and availability of funding.
