XVI.B   Visiting Research Faculty

This category is reserved for persons affiliated with other institutions whose in residence participation for limited periods in sponsored research administered by Yale will be of mutual benefit. Such persons will normally have at least two years of research experience following the Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree. The appointee's salary is normally paid from Yale-administered grant or contract funds. Salaries of visiting research faculty will not exceed the salary offered by the home institution. The title will be comparable to that held at the individual's home institution, with the prefix "visiting." Visiting research faculty must comply with all University research and training requirements.

In the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, visiting research scientist/scholar appointments must be approved by the Provost's Office. In the professional schools they must be approved by the dean.
