Yes but they focus towards research which is what they would rather be doing 😆
They’re not teaching, but they’re still doing research which is usually really the academics’ main job.
Not a professor but studied engineering and did research for 3 summers —
My PIs were as busy in the summers as the semesters. Usually STEM professors directed research groups as their primary job and taught one class a year as their teaching obligation. The two profs I worked under had a total of ~15 or 16 phd candidates and ~7 or 8 undergrads to manage — although we did have full time secretaries and lab a managers to take care of maintenance and scheduling. That being said, summers were equally as busy and often full of research symposiums and conferences that required travel.
They can be "summering" if they are at a teaching oriented vs research oriented school. Research is more rigorous, involving summer activites, i.e. networking conferences, etc which might be fun for some but not so much for others.
Yes! Both of my parents were professors while I was growing up. My mom was part time, so she had all summer off, the moment she turned in her final grades. My dad had research requirements and went to conferences as mentioned above , but he enjoyed that part of it, and he still spent all summer at home/on vacations (aka not in the office). I was actually surprised when I found out that other people’s parents didn’t get summers off lol 😊
SO is a professor at a Tier-1 research university. In academia you are typically on a 9.5 month contract so you don’t get paid during summer and ostensibly have the summer off.
But as others have pointed out, all of summer goes in grant writing, writing research papers, advising PhD and masters students on their thesis, various committees and course development for fall / spring - all of which counts towards promotion & tenure. You only get paid if you teach a summer course or have grant money.
My dad is an engineering professor. His yearly work commitment is 9 months (mid august to mid may). He gets paid 12 months though. If he chooses to work on research in the summer he gets paid extra in addition to normal salary
yes
They still have publication requirements. So while they may not have to teach, they have more time to work on their research and getting their papers published. No idea what it looks like for others teaching faculty without a PhD considering they don’t have publishing/research requirements. They probably have the time off.
My mom's been a tenured professor for 30 years in Asia. She spends most of her summers writing papers, and sometimes she goes into the office for admiministrative stuff. But yeah it's pretty relaxed and I'm so jealous of her lol...
Also I gotta say having Sabbatical years is super nice!
My wife is a professor at a nursing university. She has all summer off with no research requirements
