Associate/Assistant Professorship
Career Development Professorships are special awards made to newly tenured faculty members whose research promises to make a fundamental contribution to a field of broad importance to society at large. A young faculty member achieving tenure at UVM will already have demonstrated substantial achievement and great promise in his or her teaching and research.

Career Development Professorships allow us to reinforce our institutional commitment not only with the prestige that comes from holding a coveted named appointment but also with research support that will alleviate the holder's dependence on third-party research agendas and help make the best use of UVM's most precious and productive resource, faculty time. These Professorships provide their holders with the flexibility needed to react quickly to new ideas and research breakthroughs. Such rapid response to new research often leads to major initiatives attracting significant external resources.
