Instructors
Instructors (Affiliated)
UPDATE: Change in How Actions are Submitted
As of February 1, 2017, all Instructor and Instructor (Affiliated) actions must be submitted through FASA, not emailed to the Office of Academic Affairs. In addition, you do not need to fill out the application form (“green form”). Entering the action into FASA takes the place of the application form.
Definition
Instructors are primarily engaged in mentored research and scholarly activities that advance clinical medicine, and may have secondary roles in teaching and clinical care. They are generally in transition from training towards a potential career as a faculty member; however, there is no expectation of a Stanford professoriate appointment following an Instructor appointment.
Instructor or Instructor (Affiliated)?
Instructors are salaried employees of Stanford University, classified as exempt staff.
Instructor (Affiliated) is an academic title only, rather than an employment category (in PeopleSoft terms, a "non-employee affiliate" or "person of interest"). An Instructor (Affiliated) is employed by another institution with which the School of Medicine, Stanford Hospitals and Clinics and/or Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital has an affiliation agreement.
Submissions
Instructor files submitted for OAA review for appointments and reappointments need to be submitted 60 days in advance of the requested start date.
Instructor requests for FTE changes and extensions need to be submitted 45 days in advance of the requested start date.
Files submitted after these deadlines will not be guaranteed the requested start date. Due to the increasing volume of late submissions and exceptions requested, OAA has been forced to strictly follow the above guidelines for submission. Please adhere to the 45 or 60 day deadline.
