Adjunct Faculty are defined as faculty who are not University of Georgia employees. Adjunct faculty members will be chosen from those individuals in federal, state, or private agencies. Individuals who already have appointments as Adjunct Faculty or appointments in the Research or Public Service ranks of any unit of the University of Georgia will be eligible for election as Adjunct faculty members of the Odum School of Ecology. Adjunct faculty involved in instructional duties are authorized to teach within a designated academic department. Adjunct faculty cannot earn tenure and all individuals in this category are in non-tenure track positions.   Adjunct faculty are reappointed every three years.
