[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are "visiting professors" on loan from another institution/college/university to which he/she will return ? Or are visiting profs essentially doing a long interview in order to be considered by the college or university as a new hire ?[/quote] Neither. A VAP is an otherwise unattached faculty member on a finite contract that is typically 1, 2, or 3 years long. After their "visiting" time is up, they must move elsewhere. These positions are often hiring venues for newly minted PhDs while they continue searching for tenure-track positions. With the changes in the academic job market over the last 25 years or so, VAP positions have become very competitive to land.[/quote]
