Part-Time Appointments
In recent years, numerous departments have appointed faculty on a "part-time" basis; so, e.g., the philosopher is there for only 7-8 weeks each year, or perhaps for a whole semester. Although this is an easy way for departments to make "prestigious" appointments--and makes it possible, in particular, to lure prominent foreigners with flexible teaching schedules--it is not clear that such appointments are particularly useful for graduate students looking for guidance from advisors. Nothing compares with faculty who are in residence year-round. However, these appointments do deserve some weight in the evaluation of departments--though not as much as a full-time appointment, of course.
