Preamble
The purpose of granting Associate Member status in the Department of Economics is to recognize substantial and sustained contributions to the Department, made by a member of another academic unit at 成人VR视频 or one of its affiliated institutions. The university鈥檚 definition of the term Associate Member, and related terms, may be found聽on the APO website.
The status will be granted only in the cases of researchers whose work is in Economics or a related subject. Associate Member status carries with it both rights and responsibilities.
Rights associated with Associate Member Status
Associate Members have the right to be identified as such and to use this affiliation in professional contexts.
Responsibilities associated with Associate Member Status
Associate Members shall maintain the high standards of research and professional work expected of tenure-track or tenured members of the Department. Associate members are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the department and shall make themselves available from time to time to aid in the supervision of graduate students, either formally or informally. An Associate Member may, but is not required to, teach a course in the Department on an occasional basis, as responsibilities to his or her primary unit in the university allow. Associate members shall not attend departmental meetings and have neither voice nor vote on hiring or promotion decisions. Associate Members may be included in the ECONFAC mail list but cannot be included in the ECONPROF mail list or any other mail list where sensitive information concerning the department is circulated.
Remuneration
Associate Member status does not carry with it any office space or additional remuneration.
Application process
Researchers must be nominated by a faculty member of the department. The nomination package should include a recent CV as well as a cover letter explaining the nominee鈥檚 motivations to join the department as Associate member. If appropriate the letter may address the nominee鈥檚 contribution to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the department. The appointment must be approved by a vote of members of the Department in a departmental meeting.
Renewal of status
An Associate Member shall be appointed for a term of three years. The appointment expires automatically after three years, but it may be renewed indefinitely for further three-year terms. The Associate member must be renominated by a faculty member and the renomination package should include a recent CV as well as a cover letter outlining his or her contributions to the department during the previous three years. The reappointment must be approved by a vote of members of the Department in a departmental meeting. The Department retains the right to revoke this status during such a three-year term, at its discretion.
