Research Faculty:
Non-tenure track faculty members whose appointment complements the research program of a department, school, or college. These appointments are not to replace regular faculty positions, nor should they be seen as creating long-term or career positions. Rather, they are intended to enrich the research environment of the university by providing formal appointments for scholars who provide their own support by serving as investigators on extra mural grants. Once research faculty members have been approved for grant funding and are receiving salary at a minimum of .625 FTE, they are eligible for University benefits according to standard University policy.

Part time faculty who have appointments of one year or less and teach fewer than 24 credit hours per academic year (excluding summer sessions) are eligible for modified benefits after qualifying as agreed upon by Adjuncts United and Syracuse University.

All part-time faculty members are eligible to obtain an identification card entitling them to use the library and athletic facilities, and to receive a discount on bookstore purchases. They may also purchase a parking permit.
