The primary mechanism of hiring and appointing full-time faculty continues to be through an in-person appointment. In rare circumstances the unit may identify a special faculty hire opportunity for which a remote appointment is possible and mutually advantageous.
To be considered for a full-time remote position, employees in Workgroup F must be non-tenure earning, or a tenured associate or full professor (tenure-earning faculty are not eligible), and must be hired into a position designed for remote work. If your job is eligible for Fully Remote, UAB Human Resources and the Office of the Provost will determine your eligibility.
For more information on eligibility and guidelines for fully remote faculty, visit the Alternate Work Options FAQs page.
