Guidelines for the Appointment of
Research Affiliates

 

The appointment category of Research Affiliate provides a mechanism for faculty
members to be formally affiliated with University of Manitoba Research
Centres/Institutes.

A Research Affiliate is an individual who normally holds a full-time academic
appointment with The University of Manitoba or with another University and who, as a result of his/her research expertise and achievements, desires an affiliation with a Research Centre/Institute which would be of mutual benefit to both the Research Centre/Institute and the individual. There is no salary associated with the appointment. The individual is expected to contribute to and share in the research activities of the Research Centre/Institute but will not normally have any assigned duties associated with the appointment. In the event that duties are assigned, they must be of a very limited nature and have the approval of the home faculty/school dean/director. Research Affiliates will be expected to hold a doctoral degree or have equivalent qualifications and experience.

Research Affiliate appointments must fall within the following parameters:

  • They are term-limited with a start date and an end date. The initial term may
    be no longer than five years.

  • There is nil salary.

  • Research Affiliate appointments are normally only available to full-time
    academic staff at this or another recognized University, who hold a doctoral
    degree or have equivalent qualifications and experience.

  • Research Affiliate appointments are excluded from any bargaining unit.
