Faculty Programs

The university created a new faculty classification entitled University Research Scholar in the 2006-07 academic year.  Appointment is for a three-year term and is intended to recognize scholars for their special contributions to the university and their academic disciplines.  With this recognition, the university will also provide additional support for its University Research Scholars to undertake activity that will ensure ongoing research productivity at UNH.  University Research Scholars have a reduced teaching load in order to devote more time to their research project under the program.  In addition, a supply budget is provided to facilitate the faculty member’s research.

During 2006-07, seven University Research Scholars were appointed from among the tenured and tenure-track faculty:

Carmela Cuomo —Biology & Environmental Sciences
Anshuman Prasad —Management
Eva Sapi —Biology & Environmental Sciences
Pauline Schwartz —Chemistry & Chemical Engineering
Saion Sinha —Mathematics & Physics
Fred Smith —Criminal Justice, Forensic Sciences
Roman Zajac —Biology & Environmental Sciences

During 2007-08 three University Research Scholars were appointed.

R. Laurence Davis - Biology & Environmental Sciences
Ramesh Sharma - Mathematics
Kamal Upadhyaya - Economics and Finance

Applications for University Research Scholars for three year terms commencing each fall will be accepted during the spring semester.
