* Adjunct Scientist Policy
All Center for Coastal Studies adjuncts must meet one of the below criteria in order to be officially recognized as a CCS adjunct scientist or educator:
– Currently actively involved in collaborative research; or
– Be listed as co-applicants, sub-awards, or contractors for grant funded projects; or
– Have a current appointment as an associated lecturer or trainer; or
– Be listed as a co-author on publications in anticipation of long-term association; or
– Have a long-term affiliation on a joint marine policy endeavor resulting in ongoing policy related initiatives
The active status of each adjunct faculty or educator will be reviewed biennially. Adjunct research and education awardees may be provided an email address and temporary office or lab space (when available) upon request. Adjunct affiliates are not included in staff announcements. Any person to be considered as an adjunct must be nominated by current staff and/or a CCS research member. For more information, email [email protected].
