University of Waterloo

Also, probably one of the few, if not only, people to receive a Nobel Prize without a full professorship. Also, apparently not important enough to warrant a wikipedia page prior to her Nobel Prize. https://qz.com/1410909/wikipedia-had-rej...us-enough/

Regardless of whether this is super rare or not, full professorship is not just a promotion based on merit. In fact, the professor needs to apply for it, usually after being granted tenure. Dr Strickland said that she had never bothered to apply for full professorship, she did not see the value in it.

From the Record article:

There's been a lot of attention on your position as an associate professor and not a full professor. What has been your response to that?

That I'm very sorry for the university because it's not their fault.
This is what people I don't think get, a full professor although it's a different name it doesn't carry necessarily a pay raise and I don't lose my job (if I don't apply to be a full professor). So I never filled out the paper work.
It's all on me. I think people are thinking it's because I'm a woman, I'm being held back.
I'm just a lazy person. I do what I want to do and that wasn't worth doing.
