Faculty Research Leave
(Sabbatical Leave)
APPLICATION DEADLINE: None
The Program
Faculty members may spend their sabbatical leave,
typically 9-12 months, at the Laboratory.
The Faculty
Research Leave Program is intended to provide mutual benefits to the faculty
members and the Laboratory. In addition to bringing about fruitful research
activity, it provides Argonne scientists and engineers and visiting faculty
opportunities to develop a strengthened rapport and
to catalyze the formation of continuing research partnerships and collaborations.
Appointments are normally for an academic or a calendar
year.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the appointment, a faculty member must be
in receipt of a sabbatical-leave award (or other appropriate award) from
his/her university, have the approval of the appropriate university administrator

must be full-time faculty members of an accredited U.S. college or university.
Financial Assistance
During the Faculty Research Leave appointment,
the faculty member remains on the payroll and under fringe benefits of the
university. Typically, Argonne reimburses the university for 50% of salary
and fringe benefits for the academic-year (9 months).
Application
Argonne desires that the expression of interest in
Faculty Research Leave participation by an individual faculty member, along
with university endorsement of such participation, be transmitted to the
Division of Educational Programs. Expressions of interest should

the research interests of the faculty member. Interactions
of faculty with students in the research programs is strongly encouraged.
