Build and Maintain Your Scholarship Profile for Promotion
The OHSU Library will be hosting three hands on workshops were you’ll learn how to track, update, and present your publications and research activities in ways that support your promotion. Facilitators will introduce easy‑to‑use tools that help you manage your research profile and show you how to complete key tasks in each one. You’ll leave with practical skills you can use right away to make your work easier to find and understand.
Promotion and tenure can seem daunting. To help in this process, the School of Medicine Faculty Affairs team has put together, and maintains, a valuable resource page to help guide you through the process.
This Promotion and Tenure faculty page has a wealth of resources to help you understand the P&T process as well as tips from colleagues to help with the process. In addition to finding key information about P&T policies, criteria and procedures, you can expect to find:
- Information about the new curriculum vitae template and guide (effective July 1, 2024), including an OHSU curriculum vitae annotated guide and a Mentoring and coaching profile annotated guide
- Information on Updating your CV in the era of COVID-19
- A presentation on Assessing Faculty Readiness for Promotion
- A Guide to Writing Personal Statements
- A link to a list of Departmental Promotion and Tenure Committee Chairs
- As well as many other guides, templates and reference documents designed to help you through the P&T process.
Make sure to check back often for updated resources and to stay informed of dates for application openings or other key deadlines.
Faculty in the instructional series may be engaged in teaching, research and/or clinical activities. There are multiple ways for faculty in the instructional series to be appointed to the professorial series.
- If an Instructor has a terminal degree, their Department Chair can write letter of recommendation to the Provost requesting a title change.
- Instructors that are demonstrating satisfactory contributions to scholarship or teaching are also eligible for consideration for the professorial series during quarterly portfolio reviews led by the Subcommittee for Instructor Advancement. Portfolios must include the following documents:
- Curriculum vitae or resume
- Educator's portfolio
- Personal statement
- Department Chair letter of support
- Annual reviews (two most recent years)
