Individuals who are not employed by BSMS but work closely with the school may need honorary contracts in order to undertake certain duties or receive honorary titles recognising their contributions.
We may choose to recognise the contribution made by an individual, not employed by the Universities of Sussex or Brighton as an assigned employee of BSMS, by granting them honorary status.
Honorary Status
Honorary status may be granted to an individual in respect of their contribution to the school’s:
-
academic work (teaching, curriculum development and/or research) - the titles being linked to Lecturer and Senior Lecturer grades, or
-
research - the titles being linked to Research grades.
Honorary Title
The Honorary Titles Committee has been temporarily suspended. We are reviewing processes to improve inclusivity in response to the recent reorganisation of trusts within Sussex. The next round of promotions is likely to be autumn 2023. Please lookout here for updates.
Honorary Academic (NHS) contract
Honorary academic NHS contracts are typically issued to NHS employees who undertake teaching or research as part of their substantive employment contract (job plan). Honorary contract holders are able for example to take budgetary responsibility for research grants held at the university.
