Are junior faculty eligible to submit proposals for three-year theme projects?
Although junior faculty are encouraged to participate as team members, junior faculty will not be well served in the role of team leader. The team leader is responsible for organizing all project activities. These activities are extremely important, but they are also very time consuming, and are not the kind of activities that are generally rewarded in tenure evaluations. As such, if you have an idea for a theme project, we suggest you work to get a senior colleague to propose the idea and take on the added responsibilities.
