Faculty members utilize the wide range of opportunities offered by Jouf University for
professional development. The university provides funds to support scientific research by
faculty through a variety of research grant schemes managed by the Deanship for Scientific
Research (DSR). During the academic year 2018/19, EE faculty secured 4 research grants
with a total value of SR 113,000. Other support is available for book writing and translation.
The faculty is also encouraged to go abroad(USA,UK,AUS) for higher studies and the
University facilitates them by granting study leaves and retaining them on return.

Faculty members are motivated to excel through a promotion scheme that takes into account
performance in teaching, research, and services. The university faculty promotion guidelines
follow international standards in the education profession. Moreover, a number of university
awards exist for outstanding faculty performance.
