As a flagship institution and top-tier public research university, our continued momentum and ability to achieve our aspirational vision for the future require sustained investment in our academic and research enterprises. Growing our faculty and bolstering research are vital to our continued success.
In support of these goals, the university is offering a one-time, local, Stony Brook University (SBU) Voluntary Separation Program (“VSP”) to all SBU full-time tenured/tenure-track faculty meeting the criteria below. The intent of this program is to provide salary savings that will be reinvested fully into new tenure-track faculty hiring.
The program is available to all Full-Time State & RF Employees attending a SUNY or Empire State College. A percentage of the tuition for three (3) credits may be waived each Spring and Fall semesters, based on career-relatedness and availability of funds.
Starting this fall, departments will be able to request a curated benefits meeting (in-person or over zoom) tailored specifically to the needs of their team members.
