Frequently Asked Questions
|
1) Question:
How do I start the promotion process?
Answer:
The person primarily responsible for your promotion is you. Look over the section on this website
called �
Appointments, Promotions, and Tenure� and review especially the document
�
Interpreting the Guidelines
on Appointments, Promotions, and Tenure.� If you feel you are ready�or will be within the year�make an
appointment to meet with your division director to discuss your plan. If your division director feels the
proposal is timely, she/he will need to write a letter of nomination to the Chair. Please pay particular
attention to the
Timelines noted in the site mentioned. Also, it is always appropriate to discuss promotion
with the Vice Chair for Faculty Development, or even with the Chair if you want a �second opinion.� They can
give you useful advice and assistance whatever your situation.
2) Question:
Can I select former colleagues or co-authors to serve as evaluators for my appointment or promotion?
Answer:
No. Letters of evaluation from external evaluators are expected to be from peer reviewers who are generally
acknowledged experts in the field and who do not have a close relationship to the candidate. Letters from
mentors or collaborators of any type do not count against the required minimum and may be discounted as
potentially biased. In addition, letters from internal evaluators are required to be from reviewers who have
faculty appointments outside of the Department of Pediatrics.
3) Question:
I am not receiving email announcements sent to the Department of Pediatrics� faculty listserv. How can I make
sure my correct email address is included in the listserv?
Answer:
Please email Robert Migliore to let him
know you are not receiving listserv announcements. Be sure to include
your correct email address in your message.
4) Question:
I am new to Emory and Atlanta. Where can I find information about day care centers, transportation, cultural
events, and campus resources?
Answer:
Be sure to check out Emory's
Newcomer's Guide. This wonderful resource includes information about Emory and
the surrounding Atlanta area. In addition, Emory has created a great link to local sights and attractions.
