Affiliate Faculty

There are multiple ways in which affiliate faculty can serve the Human Context of Science and Technology community. Since the term of affiliation is two years, the responsibilities and options outlined below are to be fulfilled during the two-year period. Affiliate faculty will be expected to participate in the following ways:

  1. Teaching or HCST Committees
    Affiliate faculty will normally be expected to teach at least one HCST or elective course and/or to serve on the HCST Governing Committee during a two-year period.
  2. Advising
    Affiliate faculty will be expected to be knowledgeable about and to disseminate information concerning the program and to advise students with respect to course selection within the program.
  3. Participation
    Affiliate faculty will be expected to attend program-sponsored functions if possible.
  4. Vita and Course Syllabi
    Affiliate faculty will be expected to submit a current curriculum vitae to the HCST Program. They will also be expected to submit all HCST course syllabi to the Program office.

To apply for affiliate status, submit a vita and a statement of interest to the Director. Applications are reviewed by the HCST Governing Committee, which will vote to recommend each affiliate appointment to the Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The Dean will then issue an official letter of appointment to each faculty member. Once appointed, faculty may include their affiliation with the Human Context of Science and Technology Program in their professional work (i.e., CV, business cards). Interested faculty should also read our affiliate faculty policy.
