External applicants: Applicants who currently do not have a tenure-track position in the Harvard School and Department/Unit/Area to which they are applying for a tenured position. This Phase I program does not include faculty who are being considered for a promotion from a tenure-track position to a tenured appointment in the same Harvard School and Department/Unit/Area.
NOTE: At HMS, “external applicants” refers to candidates applying to tenured positions in which the primary appointment will be on the HMS Quad and HMS will be the faculty member’s employer. HMS faculty members with primary appointments at a Harvard affiliated hospital or in a non-ladder position anywhere at Harvard are also considered “external applicants” because they are not currently in a tenure-track position on the HMS Quad.
External finalist: An external applicant whose tenured appointment has been approved by the President and Provost and who has obtained a contingent offer of Harvard employment
