Junior Rank Appointments

Academic rank at the level of Staff Scientist, Educator, Instructor, and Assistant Professor for Full-Time, Part-Time or Voluntary faculty are established by each department and are based on an evaluation of the research, teaching, clinical and the nature and duration of post-doctoral training.

Individuals who are appointed in the Staff Scientist ranks will hold a Master's degree and may possess a doctoral degree. The Staff Scientist rank is considered to be at a level comparable to an Instructor and Principal Staff Scientist is considered comparable to an Assistant Professor.

Individuals who are appointed in the Educator ranks will hold a Master's degree and may possess a doctoral degree. The Educator rank is considered to be at a level comparable to an Instructor and Principal Educator is considered comparable to an Assistant Professor.

Recommendations from the department chairs for appointment or promotion to the rank of Staff Scientist, Principal Staff Scientist, Educator, Principal Educator, Instructor and Assistant Professor are reviewed by the Office of the Dean but are not subject to further review prior to approval.

A visiting designation may be granted to individuals who hold a faculty appointment at another medical school and who are visiting here at Einstein for some brief or defined period of time that should not exceed one year. Renewal of a visiting appointment beyond the one year period may be requested under special circumstances.

An adjunct designation is used for individuals with a faculty appointment at another medical school, who by virtue of their teaching and/or research activities, also fulfill the criteria for appointment to the Einstein faculty. Their length of appointment will parallel the appointment and reappointment process of the faculty.

An appointment to the junior faculty rank includes the following titles:
