Non-Faculty Researchers
Non-faculty researchers are doctorate-holding researchers that are neither tenure-eligible nor instructors. (Whether someone is part of a faculty pay-plan is not a consideration for the purposes
of this survey). These are usually line positions such as Research Associate and Scientific
Researcher. Be sure to verify if they have a doctorate, which must be reported on
the Roster. Since many of these positions do not require a doctorate, any doctorate-holding researchers must have their highest degree reflected in GEMS
(D=Doctorate, X=MD, H=PharmD). Non-faculty researchers will not be counted if the degree is missed or reported
incorrectly in GEMS since several of these job codes do not require a doctorate. Departments
are responsible for maintaining documentation on degrees.
