DCHAS-L Archives Jan 12 2012 - Re: Academic title wording

Thank you all. My question has been clearly answered.

I was editing a document that used that language repeatedly and it began to sound redundant. Your input was very helpful

Neal,

Same here at Princeton – there are post-docs and fellows and others who are classified by our University Research Board as Principal Investigators, but they are not faculty.

Thanks,

Robin

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Academic title wording

For those of you in academic settings, particularly in major research institutions –

Are there documented cases of a person being a “PI” and NOT being a faculty member. That is, a “research professor” is still a faculty member. Asked another way, is the wording

“faculty and Principal Investigators” redundant?
