What is the difference between visiting and tenure track positions?
Rose-Hulman Mathematics: Visiting positions in the department are typically sabbatical replacements or to temporarily fill a tenure track line when a vacancy occurs too suddenly to conduct a proper national search. By department policy, a visiting faculty member can serve at most two years as a visiting faculty member. During the first year, visiting faculty members are welcome to apply for a second year as a visiting faculty member, provided an opening exists. Visiting faculty are always welcome to apply for any available tenure track position. We expect that visiting faculty will achieve the same standards as our regular faculty, therefore they are supported and viewed as other new tenure track faculty members, with the exceptions that service expectations are somewhat less and visiting faculty are excluded from hiring discussions.
