Affiliated faculty

An affiliation is an agreement with a research partner concerning the exchange of knowledge. Affiliated faculty will thus not be employed at KTH.

Initiation

  1. The Head of Division contacts HR at EECSl to obtain information on KTH’s regulations concerning affiliated faculty  and on the application process. HR EECS provides support throughout the process.
  2. The Head of Division requests documentation in the form of a CV and publication list from the candidate in order to initiate the conversation with the school.
  3. The Head of Division consults with the Future Faculty-responsible (FFA) and the school’s promotion committee in order to assess whether the conditions exist for the school to support affiliation. Consideration is to be given to KTH’s guidelines for affiliated faculty  and the school’s decision on local guidelines for affiliated faculty and adjunct professors .
  4. The FFA contacts the Dean of Faculty with documentation (the candidate’s CV and publication list) for an informal discussion on the matter.
  5. If the Dean, the FFA and the school’s promotion committee agree on an approval, the FFA will decide to formally initiate the process and notify HR EECS of this.
