projecting what I know of Columbia:
I read her account to mean she was a research professor— up to 100% soft money faculty & grueling b/c you are at the mercy of funding calls to raise your salary + staff off proposals w <10% success that take months to years to learn outcome

Adjunct gives access to libraries, students, postdocs, labs— extremely valuable. still must raise grant $, but removes uni overhead (T1 60%+) for your own salary,but its less secure job than tenured prof
