Road to R1 Initiative: Division of Research Faculty Associate |
|
The Division of Research Associate designation is a title held by an instructor in recognition of research and scholarly activities performed, in addition to primary teaching assignments.
Obtaining this title requires the instructor is engaged in significant research outcome and undergraduate student research. In support of the Road to R1, the university has committed to provide funding for this initiative for three years. Assignments are given out in collaboration with each Dean.
In existence for less than a year, the initiative is already celebrating success: we congratulate Judy Monestime, DBA, instructor in the College of Business, who recently earned the National Institute of Health's Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15).
"The Research Associate appointment was very instrumental for this! I appreciate all the support from the Division of Research," Monestime said.

Affiliate Postdoctoral Scholars |
|
Working closely with the Office of Academic Affairs, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPDA) recently created the Affiliate Postdoctoral Fellow designation. The Affiliate Postdoctoral Fellow at FAU is defined as a postdoctoral scholar who has been awarded an externally sponsored fellowship or traineeship for postdoctoral studies, and the sponsor supports the postdoc exclusively and provides their financial support directly to the postdoctoral scholar.
The process to assign this appointment is similar to the Affiliate Faculty appointment, but it has its own distinct forms, required documentation, and is routed through the OPDA. The Affiliate Postdoctoral Fellow is not an employee of FAU, nor are they eligible for any benefits provided by the university. However, the Affiliate Postdoctoral Scholar is authorized to work on campus under the advisement of a designated FAU faculty member, serving as their mentor.
All departments must obtain authorization by their chairs, deans and the OPDA before offering an appointment.
Individual postdoctoral fellowships are competitive and prestigious. This is a wonderful reflection of the quality of FAU research, where postdoctoral fellows choose to conduct research and additional training.
For more information, send an email to the OPDA.

The work of Laurent Cherubin, Ph.D., research professor, FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, is featured in the latest Nature documentary called "Treasure of the Caribbean."
"Our film follows the discovery of a vast coral reef in Belize and Guatemala, that marks an exciting new chapter in understanding corals and fish spawning aggregations, and the battle to save coral reefs and reef fishes, like the Nassau grouper, around the world," Cherubin said.
