faculty positions and they require different training</p> <h3>Faculty positions</h3> <p>Higher education institutions exist on a spectrum from teaching-focused (T) to research and teaching-focused (RT) to research-focused (R). At all of these institution types, both tenure-track (TT) and non-tenure-track (Non-TT)聽positions exist. There are many kinds of聽non-TT positions, and some are transitional while others are聽more permanent. The research components of non-TT positions at R and RT institutions often rely on soft money, which means the salary comes from a non-permanent source of funding, like a grant, instead of a permanent source of funding. At T institutions, these positions may be called "Lecturer" or "Instructor". Our resources below will support you in identifying which type of faculty position is right for you, and then guide you in preparing, applying, interviewing, and negotiating for that position.</p> <!-- <div class="singlecol bg--interactive-blue"> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Are you applying to faculty positions in 2021?</h3> <h4><em>Faculty Career Series</em> is a mailing list that guides trainees through the application process</h4> <p>People who sign up for the Faculty Career Series receive announcements about our videos, workshops, and resources every one to two weeks from August through December.
