Undifferentiated Faculty

Sometimes the career track (Clinician-Educator, Investigator or Team Scientist) to which a faculty member is most appropriately appointed is not evident at the time of initial appointment. To give such faculty time to determine their career focus, Feinberg occasionally grants non-tenure-eligible appointments on an undifferentiated career track, allowing the candidate to declare a track within the first three years of appointment or at the time of promotion to assistant professor, whichever is earlier.

Undifferentiated Track Faculty Ranks

• Instructor: Career track to be declared within three years of initial appointment or at the time of promotion to assistant professor, whichever is earlier.
• Assistant Professor: Career track to be declared within three years of initial appointment. Time spent as undifferentiated assistant professor counts against the tenure clock if the candidate later selects the tenure track.
