Tenure-track Positions

A tenure-track position is a specialized faculty role at a university or college designed for academics seeking long-term job security. It typically begins with a probationary period during which the individual is evaluated based on teaching, research, and service. Successful completion often leads to tenure, a permanent position that offers job stability and academic freedom. This pathway encourages scholarly growth and institutional contribution, balancing responsibilities of teaching, research, and service. Not all faculty positions are tenure-track; some are temporary or adjunct roles without long-term job guarantees.
