In an effort to streamline junior faculty appointments and promotions, departments can opt to use the APT Processing Form for Junior Candidates/ Faculty in lieu of a traditional chair statement. This form is designed to expedite the submission process for Junior Appointments/ Promotions.

Please note, this form cannot be used for Investigator Track Junior Faculty, which will continue to require a Chair Statement.

The Appointment, Promotions and Tenure Office reserves the right to request additional documentation along with this document, including but not limited to a Chair Statement, track- specific addendum, etc.

The attached Work Order Form must be attached when submitting a work order in the Sinai Central APT Tracker. A work order should be used when updates to appointments are needed that are not considered promotions (status change, title change, department change, termination, etc.).

The Work Order Form should be used in lieu of the Chair statement for minor changes. An updated CV continues to be required for these transactions.
