OverviewÌý

Faculty Fellow positions are a subset of additional jobs, used for work done by current non-temporary University of Colorado faculty members working 50% time or greater in their primary appointment(s) that falls beyond their current job description and does not align with the other existing types of additional job.ÌýÌý

GuidelinesÌý

Common faculty fellow appointments include work for course development, approved administrative service in a unit beyond the scope of existing associate chairs/directors, and external fellowships paid through the university. Faculty fellow appointments are time limited, and typically expire within 1 semester to 2 academic years from their start date. Faculty fellow positions are renewable.ÌýÌý

Faculty fellow appointments should not be used for additional teaching or additional research work. For those types of work, existing additional job titles and processes should be used.ÌýÌý

As of Spring 2025, faculty members who previously held faculty fellow appointments that functioned like an endowed appointment (i.e., the faculty fellow position is an honor and has no explicit administrative responsibilities or additional work assignments the faculty member must complete) must be transitioned to Endowed Chair or Endowed Professor positions upon the conclusion of their current faculty fellow contract, if the honorary position is to continue.ÌýÌý
