Extension Educators Applying for a Faculty Position without a National Search
Extension educators who have a minimum of a master’s degree and have attained the rank of Educator IV may apply for a faculty position. The process is initiated upon the written request of the educator in a letter to the department chair. The educator will develop a dossier following the most current Ohio State faculty guidelines (scroll down on page to "Core Dossier Outline and Instructions"). Educators seeking a faculty appointment must meet the minimum criteria for teaching, service, and research/scholarly/creative work for Educator IV. The candidate must provide evidence of the potential for sustained faculty achievement at the assistant professor level. The review process will include reviews by the department P&T committee, the division directors/program leaders, and the department chair. Procedures for P&T committee votes (as detailed in the APT) will be followed. The department chair will make the final determination of whether to offer faculty status to the candidate and will contact the candidate. Ordinarily, when an educator enters the faculty rank, it will be with an appointment at the assistant professor rank with six years of probationary status. If a request for a faculty position without a search is not approved, the educator will remain an Educator IV.
