NATURE AND PURPOSE
The position of Specialist has a narrow focus in a specialized area and provides technical or specialized expertise
(e.g., with instrumentation and research equipment or with social science research methods) in the planning and
execution of a research project. The Specialist stays apprised of emerging issues and problems and maintains
technical competence in the designated area(s) of specialization. Within this defined area and when appropriate, the
Specialist is expected to facilitate teamwork and develop collaborative relationships with colleagues and to supply
input into the planning of research and educational programs. Junior Specialists do not have supervision
responsibilities. Although the Specialist titles are expected to work independently under the general guidance of an
academic member, the incumbent is not required to develop an independent research program or reputation. The
incumbent will carry out research or creative programs with supervision by an individual in an academic title that
carries with it a Principal status. The Specialist is evaluated for merit and promotion using three basic criteria
outlined below.
