Visiting Scholar:
The program for visiting scholars, visiting research
professors, and visiting exchange professors extends specified courtesy titles
and privileges to scholars of distinction who visit New York University in order
to engage in research and scholarship, and in general scholarly and cultural
interactions with New York University’s faculty and students. The courtesy
titles may not be granted for the purpose of providing free courses or other
privileges to graduate or post-graduate students, or for the sole purpose of
providing library privileges. Visiting Scholars, visiting research professors,
and visiting exchange professors are considered guests of the University who
may visit for a temporary period of up to one year (renewable). As
non-employees, they have no teaching or other responsibilities and are not
entitled to salary or housing. Visiting Scholars, visiting research professors,
and visiting exchange professors covered by this program may not in any way
perform in the role of an employee at New York University. For further
information, faculty members may contact their Dean’s Office (from the NYU Faculty
Handbook).
