Nominees for Tier 2 Chair positions must be emerging scholars, at a minimum assistant or associate professors, or possess the necessary qualifications. Tier 2 Chairs are tenable for five years and renewable once, for exceptional emerging scholars who have been active researchers for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination.
