| Faculty Research
Achievement Management |
| The Division keeps track of faculty
members’ research, statistically analyzes the results and compares
them with other institutions, and communicates them to the public.
It is required for all faculty members to report at the end
of each year, all published papers, proceedings, publications,
and intellectual properties acquired during the year. Those
who do not report their ‘achievements’ will be exempt from receiving
Research Achievement Bonuses, and also will not be able to receive
any research ‘incentives’ during the following year from the
overheads mentioned above. |
| |
| Recognizing and
Managing Outstanding Research Achievements |
| In order to establish a reliable
database of the research achievements of faculty members, a management
system has been implemented. When communicating research results
to the media, faculty must go through the Office of Research.
Normally research results are accounted for in monthly departmental
reports, but when publishing in high profile journals such as
Science or Nature, one must report the date and content of the
paper to the Office, which will assign a committee of expert
peers who will recommend whether or not to release the results
to the media. |

| Managing Sabbatical
Leaves for Full Faculty |
| Sabbatical leaves are granted to
all fully instated faculty members, to provide an opportunity
to broaden or deepen educational interests, to explore new areas,
and to maintain the high level of academic excellence necessary
to meet the missions of Seoul National University. Leaves may
be taken for 1 semester every 3 years, or for 1 year every 6
years, after an initial 3 years of consecutive full employment.
However, only up to one seventh of the faculty of a department
may be on leave at the same time. |

| Hiring of Research

be recruited from researchers with relevant experience in research
institutes and elsewhere. To employ a researcher, you must apply
to the Division with the appropriate paperwork on the 1st
or 15th of any month. Contracts are for under 1 year, but renewable.
