About the role
This profile is for tenure-line faculty at the University of Virginia. Tenure is an appointment without term. Tenure-eligible and tenured faculty are full-time, salaried, hold a professorial rank (assistant professor, associate professor, or professor), and must be elected by the Board of Visitors. In the School of Medicine, tenure-line faculty hold Academic Appointments on one of three tracks:
- Academic Investigator
- Clinical Investigator
- Clinical Educator
Personnel actions are governed by EVPP and policy PROV-017: Employment of Tenure-line Faculty. Only associate professors and professors can hold tenure; tenure-eligible assistant professors or associate professors achieve tenure after a probationary period and promotion review, per school policies and with provost and Board of Visitors approval.
