Appointment Quick Links
|
There
are currently 435 scientists
holding a professional academic appointment
at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural
History. There
are three different appointment types
including:
Research Collaborator (148), Research
Associate (245) and Adjunct Scientist
(42). Research Students are listed as
part of the fellowship
community. The term "Research
Associate" is sometimes used collectively
for all individuals awarded a professional
academic appointment and who are part
of the NMNH scientific community.
Although
active members of the scientific community,
"Research Associates"
are not employees of the Museum, but individuals
who hold a formal scholarly affiliation
with the Institution. Appointments are
generally awarded for up to three years
and may be renewed. There are two renewal
cycles each year, May 1st and November
1st.

TERMS
and APPOINTMENT CATEGORIES
Student/Research
Student: This appointment type
encompasses those individuals who are
actively pursuing their education at a
college or university but have not yet
achieved professional status. The formal
designation "Student" acknowledges
active collaboration between an individual
and NMNH staff. Individuals awarded the
academic title of "Research Student"
are grouped with the Fellows
Community.
Visiting
Scientist:
Visiting Scientists are professionals
working independently within the National
Museum of Natural History research and
collection facilities. This is not a formal
academic appointment but instead identifies
an individual visiting the collections
and/or facilities.
Research
Collaborator: Collaborators
are those professionals working independently
within the National Museum of Natural
History research and collection facilities
or informally collaborating with members
from the NMNH community on scientific
endeavors. Collaborators generally have
achieved an academic degree and hold professional
status within the scientific community.
Research
Associate: Professional scholars
who formally and actively collaborate
with NMNH scientific staff through collaborative
projects, proposal submission, co-authored
publications, etc. including regular use
of the NMNH research and collection facilities.
Research Associates have achieved a degree,
usually a doctorate, and have professional
status within their academic community.
Research Associates are generally affiliated
with a recognized academic institution
as active or retired staff and have an
active publication record, including at
least one scholarly publication within
the past two years.
Adjunct
Scientist: The title of Adjunct
Scientist is awarded by NMNH to distinguished
professionals who significantly contribute
to the intellectual life of the Museum
through their in-residence participation
in the care and curation of the collections;
active research and publication; service
on NMNH and/or SI panels and committees;
and mentoring of students working with
NMNH scientific staff. Adjunct Scientists
have achieved a doctorate; have professional
status within their scientific community;
have an active publication record, including
at least one scholarly publication each
year; and demonstrate a commitment to
the NMNH scientific community through
their regular in-residence participation
in the scholarly activities of the Museum.
In
addition, scientists
from our affiliated agencies in-residence
at the Museum are awarded the title of
Adjunct Scientist, reflecting the important
role they play in the Museum community.
These affiliated agencies include US Department
of Interior US Geological Survey - Biological
Resources Division; US Department of Commerce
National Marine Fisheries Service; US
Department of Agriculture, Agriculture
Research Service; and US Department of
Defense Walter Reed Army Institute of
Research.
Emeritus:
Emeritus appointments are generally reserved
for NMNH research staff who retire from
Federal employment with the Smithsonian
(NMNH) but wish to remain as an active
contributor to the NMNH scientific community.
Individuals awarded the title of Emeritus
are generally grouped with staff listings,
although the title of Emeritus may also
be considered an academic appointment.
A distinct listing of our emeritus
staff is posted separately.
