• Access to departmental research facilities
• Participate in the departmental teaching programme
• Supervise graduate students in the department
• Voting rights
• Use of equipment etc.

Appointment Procedures

This type of appointment is not processed by Faculty Relations; it can be done interdepartmentally by letter only.
