Researcher Affairs Team

The Researcher Affairs Team manages the full lifecycle of researcher appointments, including new hires, reappointments, reclassifications, and promotions.

Each department and center works with a Researcher Affairs Specialist, who serves as the first point of contact and manages most processes formerly executed by departments related to researcher affairs. Meet the team and find your Research Affairs Specialist below. 

For SEAS research appointments, please continue to contact the SEAS Office for Faculty Affairs.
