Academic Appointments

Status appointments are non-salaried and normally receive no remuneration from the University of Toronto. 

Such appointments are normally made to allow an individual faculty member to participate more fully in an academic unit’s teaching or research program.  Individuals being considered for status positions will normally hold full-time employment arrangements with another institution (i.e., hospital, research institute or another university) with a job description that is primarily academic (research and teaching) in nature. Status appointees are eligible to apply for research grants. The appointing officer must confirm that the institution employing the status faculty member permits the appointment and that the institution will allow the faculty member to fulfill academic responsibilities and cooperate with the University on all matters in the University’s jurisdiction.
